For Perl, in ::gentoo , its considered not too optimal to have backpan
listed as a mirror, and its unnesscary, as ::gentoo gets to mirror
everything on cpan anyway, so that there's no problem when upstream delete
the version gentoo is using from cpan.

But in the overlay, we don't have the luxury of a mirror, so we have
backpan listed as a mirror for when cpan deletes a release.

diff <( grep cpan
/var/paludis/repositories/perl-git/profiles/thirdpartymirrors  ) <( grep
cpan /usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirrors  )
1c1
< cpan          http://search.cpan.org/CPAN http://cpan.hexten.net/
http://cpan.cpantesters.org http://www.cpan.org http://backpan.perl.org

So here, it would be nicer if we could simply specify new mirrors instead
of having to override the whole thing.
