Hello, Dirk !

I don't mind if you go ahead and package libspreadsheet-writeexcel.
I have enough complicated packages to work on, but I need the
libspreadsheet-stuff as well. So I have one suggestion to make
the packages work on potato as well:

build:
    ...
# Add here commands to compile the package.
	$(PERL) Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
# For potato builds
	if ! grep ^install_vendor Makefile >/dev/null; then \
		$(MAKE) clean; \
		$(PERL) Makefile.PL $(config); \
	fi
    ...

install:
# Add here commands to install the package into debian/tmp.
	if grep ^install_vendor Makefile; then \
		$(MAKE) install PREFIX=$(PWD)/debian/tmp/usr; \
	else \
		$(MAKE) pure_install DESTDIR=$(PWD)/debian/tmp; \
	fi


Please read the Perl policy if you don't understand this.

Bye
        Racke
