MASTER_SITES/MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR for perl ports

[milki]

I've been noticing that sometimes cpan packages aren't showing up in the
/modules/by-module subdirectories of the CPAN mirrors. I only queried a
couple packages (DBIx-Class). Many perl ports already use the SUBDIR to
specify the package via the authors uri. CPAN and its
modules/02package.details.txt also link to the authors packages
directly.

So, I'm wondering. Would it be more correct to use the /authors/id uri
instead of /modules/by-module? Portlint explicitly detects this case and
suggests not using SUBDIR in this manner at least.
