For example, according to the report, Getopt::Long is only available
in FreeBSD but I'm pretty sure it is installed in all other distros as

In addition, after I generated and announced the initial report I stated to look
into how the data is fetched (which is done by
Module::Packaged::Generate from Leon) and found out that the data
collector of Mandriva is dead and Fedora actually means FC2.

I guess that Getopt::Long, as well as other dual-life modules, are very often not packaged by editors because they have to specifically remove it from the main Perl package. And even though several modules from 5.8 have been dual-lifed and have more recent versions on the CPAN, they prefer to keep the versions included with the Perl distribution.
