Many CPAN distributions are available as packages for Linux distributions. This information would be useful to show on a distribution page on metacpan, and also through the API.
I have worked out the mapping for Debian, and this script produces a JSON file with the data.
I'd like to discuss the options for:
including the Debian package info in metacpan and API results (either by generating it on the metacpan infrastructure, or pulling it from my files)
a better, more useful format for the source data, if needed
come up with a general way for importing that metadata for other package systems (RedHat and Fedora RPM, ActiveState PPM, Arch pacman, Gentoo ebuild, etc)
