The goal of the perl team is to package perl modules/libs and not whole perl software. I would be happy to help you and when we are ready, I can upload it to debian and have you as Co-Maintainer + DM flag. I have dget libprojectbuilder-perl_0.9.7.1.dsc What I can already tell you to improve is: + Update debian policy Standards-Version, debian/compat + Add a description line and a whole description + Add missing depends (and try to build it with pbuilder to find out what is missing..) + Add Xs- option to tell where the source git/svn is in debian/control + Use our new debian/copyright format http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat/Archive That's for my first review... Feel free to tell me when it's updated and I will have another deeper look.
