I fact I think that a central Bundle::KohaSupport in CPAN is not a good idea.
Why ?
Because the mainstream now is to use the packages of every distro and 
only for modules without a package
to use CPAN. With CPAN you will receive the last version of a module 
and sometimes with this operation you break something.
So in fact the Bundle::KohaSupport needs to be different for every 
distro and every version of a distro.

I think is more useful if you work on check the installation 
instruction on this problem.
For example the modules listened in INSTALL.debian / 
INSTALL.debian-lenny / INSTALL.ubuntu are correct ?
In the same time you can check the lists in 
install_misc/ubuntu.packages, debian.packages, debian-lenny.packages

If you don't use a debian based distro, you can check 
INSTALL.opensuse and INSTALL.fedora7
Others installation instruction here:
