Thus, whenever Perl module A::B::C is installed, A::B will already be
there. If they have a common directory, A::B should own it, not
A::B::C.

No. Package at the top of the dependency chain should own it. So, if
A::B is the top, then it should own the A directory, since A::B::C can't
go in without A::B.
