This means in particular, that Maintainer is set to the team list, and you can add yourself to Uploaders. Then you can svn-inject the package int the pkg-perl svn-repository (when you where added to the project, you need an alioth account for this). Some comments: For the first upload, you need only the 0.112-1 changelog entry, closing the ITP. debian/control: You can drop the Build-Depends on libmodule-build-perl, and drop versioned Build-Indep-Depends on perl, substituing with unversioned one on perl (5.6 is already satisfied in oldstable), and drop the perl-modules Build-Indep-Depends. Same for Depends. debian/copyright: There is still the Disclaimer filed, which was added by dh-make-perl. debian/libfile-copy-link-perl.docs can be dropped, since README is of no further additional usefullness to have installed into /usr/share/doc/$package/ examples contain #!perl as shebang, you could as explained in the debhelper.pod on pkg-perl page change this via an override target for dh_installexamples with a find-sed-line. All in all that said, I'm not a DD so would not upload then :). But be sure, gregoa, ryan52, dam, ... will do as soon the package is ready :) Bests Salvatore
