I assume that the package names are valid for Debian as well, so the package most probably could be reused for Debian with only minor modifications. Here's a direct link to the actual Shutter package: https://launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcefiles/shutter/0.98-1~1ppa1~hirsute0/shutter_0.98-1~1ppa1~hirsute0.debian.tar.xz

Unfortunately, that packaging isn’t well-commented, so it’s not easy to verify what exactly is needed and what isn’t.

It would be much better if you as the upstream documented the exact dependencies and other requirement, preferably in some standard format e.g. (probably? I’m not a Perl expert) META.yml or something, or at least in the README file.
