I think this was addressed, if I'm understanding correctly.  According 
to the proposed libdevice-serialport-perl control file:

  Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
  Uploaders: Zak B. Elep <zakame@spunge.org>

Perhaps I should dup this package and add myself as an uploader too, 
since I haven't heard back from Zak recently?  I already have an alioth 
account (keescook-guest).

As for sendpage (from your prior email), I'm also the upstream author of 
that (though not the packager), so I'd be happy to test it.

Besides sendpage, I get email from Debian users that install 
libdevice-serialport-perl from the repo and discover it's busted before 
installing a modern version from CPAN.  (i.e. people are using it for 
their own projects/tools.)

Thanks!
