Pretty basic; mostly just a copy from dump-config:

Doesn't matter, though when I try a non-existent one, I get the (more
helpful) error message I was trying to duplicate before:

# cpan2deb Blah::FooBar
WARNING: Neither META.json nor META.yml was found
Unable to determine dist name, no Build.PL, no Makefile.PL
Please use --cpan.

That should be a clue as to what is going on.  For some reason, it
doesn't think it's actually specifying --cpan, even though the --cpan
is implied with the cpan2deb command.

Yep.
