There are also problems to be solved with Geo::Coordinates::OSGB
in that the licensing of the data included from the Ordnance Survey
is unclear:

That's a shame. We can probably speed up the Template issue by
prodding Andy, but I'm not sure what we can do about the other thing.
Can we get round it by installing Geo::Coordinates::OSGB separately
(maybe with cpanm) or does the Debian package insist on all its Perl
dependecies being Debian-packaged as well? This affects the
Cambridge guide as well as the Oxford one.
There are two questions:
0) do the statements on the web site correspond to the licence for that
data?
1) is the licence DFSG-free[0]?
2) can it be altered to be made so?
3) how does the logo requirement relate to library applications?
If the answer to the 0) is yes and the answer to 1) is no, then we can
put the package in non-free, which would be irritating (and I'd want to
make sure it was possible to use openguides without having to install it
if not actually using it)
Geo::Coordinates::UTM would become the default choice for Debian installs
in this case then.
