My suspicion was right: After removing all "use MyApp::Schema::*"
occurrences from our controllers the app started. Nevertheless, I'm
not sure if this is expected behaviour.

I skimmed through the mailing list archive and found a thread about
how best to arrange constants and the recommendation was to create a
separate MyApp::Constants class. But to me it sounds more rational to
store, say different role IDs as constants in the corresponding
MyApp::Schema::Role model class...

Any thoughts?
