Oops, I didn't realize that, even though I saw you have .pod files in the manpages/ dir.Perl is needed for generating the man pages (using pod2man).
Ubuntu doesn't follow Debian Policy as strictly as Debian does. So that will happen on Ubuntu's lintian. The new version on Lintian was uploaded to sid only two days back (when the new policy was announced), so it's unlikely to get it on Ubuntu, especially in a current stable version. If you are submitting to Debian, you should check your package with Debian's lintian.I am not sure if it matters, but the latests Standards-Version haven't reached Ubuntu yet, so I am getting a lintian warning when builing the package on Ubuntu so I should probably keep it for now.
Again, I don't know how important this is, so I can't really comment. But if you are going to change the binary upstream soon, then I'm guessing it would be better not to confuse users and rename it in your debian package now. Possibly use `mv` in your rules file.I can modify the binary names to be all small caps, but the right way to do it would be in the next upstream release.
I'll try to reach out to PAPT as well.
