Yes, but for instance, Debian doesn't provide a package for
Math::BigInt.

vin:~> apt-file search Math/BigInt.pm
perl-modules: usr/share/perl/5.8.4/Math/BigInt.pm
perl-modules: usr/share/perl/5.8.8/Math/BigInt.pm

i.e. it comes from the core modules only. Now, should MacPorts provide
a p5-math-bigint port or should one do like Debian, i.e. provide the
core module (in the perl5.8 port) only?
