[Israel.pm] mixing CPAN.pm and apt-get

Lately I prefer to install every module using apt-get from the
standard Ubuntu repository instead of CPAN.pm.

The problem I encounter is when a module which is not available as .deb
and thus I need to install it using CPAN.pm has dependencies which are
available as .deb packages.
Right now the only thing I can do is to tell CPAN.pm to "ask" for
every dependency, check manually if .deb is available and then do the
right thing.

This is very error prone and labor intensive.
Any suggestion to automatically mix the two methods of installation?
