catalyst certainly could grow code for handling perl-cleaner & friends.  but 
i'm not sure if it makes sense.  if stage3->stage4 is seeing a perl upgrade, 
then it could be via different routes:
 - your stage3 is outdated; solution: upgrade your stage3 to a recent one
 - you're manually forcing a perl upgrade by modifying the list of accepted 
keywords (either KEYOWRDS or package.keywords or something else)
 - i don't think this comes up in the stage1->stage2->stage3 transition due to 
how those each occur (a fresh ROOT build and then chroot and upgrade and such)

this second one is a reasonable use case, but detecting & supporting it might 
be kind of pain w/out deploying specific checks.  like doing a pretend emerge 
and analyzing the resulting list of upgrades.  is a perl upgrade found ?  if 
so, manually upgrade perl, then run perl-cleaner, then move on to the next 
step.  is a python upgrade found ?  if so, manually upgrade python, then run 
python-cleaner, then move on to the next step.  all various upgrades run ?  do 
a general @world/@system update then.
