Hi Ludo,

Thanks for reviewing this so quickly!

This currently seems to be inconsistent among importers. crate and go
always add define-public independent of using '-r', while e.g. egg, gnu,
elpa etc. do not do that. I'll prepare a v2 of this patch series without
this change, as the cpan importer should stay at its default behaviour.

Speaking of '-r', the cpan importer doesn't offer recursively importing
packages. I could add this functionality to the cpan importer in v2 of
this patch series, WDYT?

Agreed.
