Packaging best practice questions (was: Re: Bug#764202: RFP: libiri-perl -- Perl module for Internationalized Resource Identifiers)

[Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org>]

Hi,

libiri-perl packaging is now pushed to the common location and it
should show up soon at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libiri-perl.git

But before uploading to the NEW queue, I have two questions to my
fellow perl module packagers about things I never stumbled upon
before:

1. IRI has some inc/Module/Install directory which looks a lot like an
   embedded code copy, but is used in Makefile.PL. What's the best
   practice there? Leave it or patch it to use some
   libmodule-install-perl?

2. IRI has an empty Changes file, but some XML files at Changes.ttl
   and Changes.xml. The former contains the real changelog data, but
   hidden in less readable XML. Anyone knows which tools are needed to
   un-XML-ify that changelog format?

		Regards, Axel
