This seems to be fixed in the lucid builds.  According to Debian perl packaging policy:
site (current):
     /usr/local/lib/perl/version
     /usr/local/share/perl/version
* Where version indicates the current Perl version ($Config{version}[1]).

vendor:
     /usr/lib/perl5
     /usr/share/perl5

I couldn't find any references to MythTV perl in /usr/local/* , so I am
having trouble confirming this bug.

Can you confirm that this bug is now fixed?

Thanks.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: libmythtv-perl

It's wrong to install the libmythtv-perl files to the Perl "site" directories (which is the default) as that means it's bound to the release of Perl that the Perl bindings were built from. Instead, they should go in the Perl "vendor" directories. This is also reported as an error by lintian.

Please see bug report and latest patch in upstream bug http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8149.
