However, one of the tenets of Dist::Zilla is that your base directory need not look anything like the final distribution. In the case of Catalyst applications, the standard assumption that a checkout and a final dist look much the same (as is normal for CPAN) is used quite substantially; so I'd say that in this case Dist::Zilla's philosophical decision to violate that convention makes it a suboptimal choice.
