I can't even build Linenoise with panda. panda hangs while trying to fetch 
LibraryMake.

Aynway, I've realised that rakuo-star is delivered with quite a bunch of core 
Perl6 modules.

Unfortunately, these modules are not provided in pure rakudo tarballs and 
hence are missing from Debian rakudo package.

Before panda, may be we should package theses modules...

Should we:
- bundle them with rakudo ? (how ?)
- create a perl6-core-modules package that bundle them ? 
 see https://github.com/tadzik/Task-Star/ for the list
- package them individually ? (dependency hell is possible)

Thoughts ?
