  As far as I know there is no libdbd-oracle-perl package for debian...
I found one or two via google, but they are not in any sort of official 
archive.  At least for this compiling the modules is recommended since
it will link against whatever version of oracle you have installed.

  When I need DBD::Oracle I just build it too...

  Well in the case that you know the module name... you can find the
debian package name via the following:
===
auto-apt search MODULE/Name
===

result:
--
msimons@salomon:~$ auto-apt search HTTP/Date
usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Date.pm	interpreters/libwww-perl
--

  you would have to change the '::' to '/'... 

  For the bundles you would first need to change the bundle into a batch
of modules... then search on each of them.  In reality just install the
packages you know you want, anything they depend on will be pulled
down too.

  To help you with the Debian naming convention is things that end in 
'-perl' are perl modules... things that begin with 'libapache-' are
apache modules.

    TTFN,
