Well, it's not completely out of the blue: XML::LibXML is a Perl wrapper around libxml2, just as XML::LibXSLT is around libxslt and XML::GDOME is around libgdome2. libxml2 is the base library for these other lib*, and so it does make sense to name the common module XML::LibXML::Common. And for the Debian package name we put lib in front and -perl at the end, and make it all lowercase (all per Perl Policy and general Policy). But since it's just a base module, hardly any user would have to deal with this package directly, since the new version of XML::LibXML will automagically pull the common package on the system.
