distribution, package exists only in a "non-free" repository which
needs to be added to F</etc/apt/sources.list>, another installer
process having the exclusive lock...).

=item * Conflicting packages

System prerequisites specified in the mapping may conflict with
already installed packages. Please note that with the "batch"
configuration already installed conflicting packages are actually
removed, at least on Debian systems.

=item * Support for more OS and Linux distributions

Best supported systems are FreeBSD and Debian-like systems (but
details may be missing for distributions like Ubuntu or Mint). Support
for Fedora-like systems and Mac OS X systems is fair, for Windows
quite limited and for other systems missing.

=item * Support for cpanm

To my knowledge there's no hook support in cpanm. Maybe things will
change in cpanm 2.0. But it's always possible to use the
L<cpan-sysdeps> script.

=item * Should gnukfreebsd be handled like debian?

Maybe gnukfreebsd should be included in the "like_debian" condition?
