Request for packaging

[Siward <siward.via@freeler.nl>]

 Hello everyone,

 I have written a programming tutorial, and want to get it into Debian.
 I seem to remember that i should file a request for packaging bug.
 I searced for RFP with search facility on www.debian.org
   and also with search facility of debian mailinglists,
   but got 'no matches'
 Then i looked at mailinglist archives of debian-mentors,
   and didnt find any RFPs in recent months
   but did find RFSs,
   so i tried searching mailinglist archives for RFS:
   and got 'no matches'
 Doesnt it search in message titles ?

 Anyway, i didnt find how to file an RFP,
   could someone please point me to place where this is explained ?
  
 For the curious, here is description of tutorial :

 "Siward's Introduction to Programming with Perl"

   tries to teach programming.
   does this by teaching programming in Perl language.
   is what i wrote to register my own learning of perl,
     so i would learn and create a reference manual at same time.

 I wrote this in form of a tutorial, because
   -it forces me to be thorough
      when i learn Perl, i want to do it well, though i dont strive to become 
a Perl expert.
   -it is a step by step way, with each step tested, to provide a solid basis
   -it may be possible to include this in debian,
      to turn users into programmers, and thus contribute to debian.

  target audience is any (woudld-be) free-software user that doesnt know Perl 
yet
     (maybe a Debian maintainer, or a newbie, or an experienced user of 
another OS),
     plus those who would like to learn to use regular expressions,
       or would simply like to have a good overview of it.

It contains :
Part 1
  teaches basics of programming : from "if" statement to subroutines.
  as it only teaches basics, it is incomplete,
    and therefore it also includes some info about Perl's manpages,
    which are much more detailed.
  at end of this part is a short and not very good section about debugging.
Part 2
  teaches regular expressions as they exist in Perl
    (regular expressions in grep and sed are (very limited) subsets of this).
  due to this being a limited subject, this part is nearly crystal-clear.
Part 3
  intends to provide a broad and thorough overview of rest of Perl :
    - quoting,
    - shortcuts,
    - precedence, and
    - a complete list of Perl's built-in functions,
        with description and example for each of them.
Part 4
  is currently very incomplete, should contain :
  talks about using Perl on your Linux system.
    - other programming languages and programs (shell, C, X, tcl/tk)
        and how to use them from Perl, or use Perl from them.
    - getting commandline arguments and environment variables in a Perl script

 I basically wrote it to teach myself Perl and regexps,
   and like to share it with free-software community,
   but now that i know enough Perl for my needs
     (and nearly all I know about Perl is in this tutorial)
   my writing speed has slowed down a lot.
 I hope including it in Debian may result in other people adding parts that 
they need.

 I dont strive to become maintainer of this,
   because i'lld rather spend limited time i have on improving it,
 sorry for posting an off-topic message,
 have fun,
