Hi,

good job. Some few things:
 * you should update debhelper-compat to 13
 * you should add "Rules-Requires-Root: no" in debian/control
 * copyright:
  * *: years are 2012-2020, not 2012 (see README)
  * inc/Devel/CheckLib.pm copyright is missing, copy it from
   https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/copyright.html#Devel%3A%3ACheckLib
  * src/ppport.h copyright is missing also, copy it from
    https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/copyright.html#Devel%3A%3APPPort

I think you should also exclude "inc" directory from import and use
libdevel-checklib-perl build-dependency instead (not tested)

Cheers,
Xavier
