The tar file can be downloaded from my webpage and I don't provide
any instructions aside from the pod2{man,text} docs, so I think
I'd prefer to keep everything in the single perl file and keep the
installation note in it.

However, I agree that it makes little sense to retain it in the
debian manpage. I guess something like this sed line added after
the first one is probably all that you'll need in debian/rules
to remove it:

    sed -i '/^=head1 INSTALLATION/,/^=head1 /{/^=head1 /p;d;}' $(pkg)
