That's a worthy goal :-)

As a CPAN author, debian-perl team member and soon to be debian
developer (*), I'm very glad to welcome you. :-)
To improve Debian::Perl, you should also consider the Debian::Dpkg [1]
models provided with Config::Model. Like lintian, these tools also
aim to validate debian/* files [2]. But before building the
packages. Hence package developement cycles should be shorter.
(note: I consider Config::Model to be complementary to lintian)
They also aim at providing an easy way to tune the resulting
packages by providing an optional GUI (real men can also use
the command line ;-) )
Currently, only debian/control debian/copyright and
debian/source/* can be validated (or edited).
All the best
Dominique

This doc was generated from Debian dpkg models and is still a bit rough with some pod
errors. Sorry about that. I'll try to fix this for next release.
