1) d/copyright: An interesting case :)

Now it says "MIT";
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
recommends "There are many versions of the MIT license. Please use
Expat instead, when it matches.", and indeed what's in d/copyright
sounds like the Expat license;
README* has "MIT (X11)";
and COPYRIGHT has

License: Expat
 This software is Copyright (c) 2020 by Kjetil Kjernsmo.
 This is free software, licensed under:
   The MIT (X11) License

whereas LICENSE says "MIT (X11)" and "MIT" and then has the text of
the Expat license.

I _think_ MIT-X11 and Expat are the same, so I would use one of those
2 terms in d/copyright instead of just MIT.

Additionally there's a missing space in the license text:
associateddocumentation


2) d/u/metadata:

Running one of (recent versions of)
- dpt debian-upstream
- lintian-brush --modern --no-update-changelog --opinionated --uncertain

adds
Bug-Submit: https://github.com/kjetilk/p5-test-fitesque-rdf/issues/new


3) d/control:

All lib.*-perl in Build-Depends-Indep could be annotated with
'<!nocheck>'.

The short description should start with a small letter and should be
a noun phrase (simple but inelegant solution: "module to formulate
…")


Cheers,
