What I propose is fixing those standing divergences (things available in
tarball installs should seaminlessly be available on packages setups) and
then make Makefile.PL arrange stuff like packages do. Packages then should
do nothing special about files on the filesystem (debian/rules should only
link to system jquery for instance, but not much more than that).
