I did actually think about this before I did it. :)
I asked around if it would be better to update the documentation to take the package out of the install script and add it to the CPAN list, or do what I did, and the general consensus was that backing down the required version was a better option (since the newer version doesn't add any functionality that we actually use), so I did that.
The reason is that a lot of people use Lenny (and or Ubuntu, which would cause this same issue), and Squeeze/Sid aren't stable yet (even though they work fine, I know that). Every indication I've gotten is that "we" prefer packaged versions of things instead of pulling direct from CPAN. I chose to eliminate the error message when installing on Lenny/Ubuntu from Makefile.PL, and allow a required version that was lower than the current version to help eliminate a bad user experience (An error!!! OMG! What do I do!).
you can count BibLibre in "we" : we prefer packaged versions, no doubts ! So ++ to your proposition to have the oldest version that works fine required !
