Hi,

Ok, so I'm adding you as of right now - Welcome aboard!

Now, about the packages you propose: The group's goal is to support
Perl modules in Debian - libfile-next-perl would be a welcome addition
to the repository. The only package we currently have that's a tool
and not a module is dh-make-perl - but we addded it because its _goal_
is to package modules, and it just makes sense ;-)

Now, it's not that I'm deciding on behalf of everybody that 'ack'
should not enter our repository (everybody has their voice, and it
might be worthy to add some other packages - I don't suggest going
that way, but we could debate on it), it's just that it not what we
currently do.

Greetings,
