Hm? New packages can go to unstable, they don't affect the freeze/release/testing in any way. > I found this git-based packaging walkthrough > http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html > Is that a good place to start ? Depends if you want to maintain the packages in the pkg-perl group or on yourself. In the first case this git.html and http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/policy.html are the two important documents; in the latter case feel free anyway to use all our documentation :) > Is there anything I should watch out > for ?

Please don't; bundle packages are a major pain to maintain, since there is no (at least no easy to use) infrastructure for updating/building/... several modules in one package. We're trying to get rid of the bundles we have for this reason. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
