- debian/copyright: your LGPL-2.1 license block should contain the
standard LGPL header (similar to that of your GPL-2 license block just
below it in your copyright file)
   I'll be fixing that...

- debian/control: Vcs-{Git,Browser} should point to where your
packaging is stored on alioth, not your upstream git repository (see
Policy 5.6.26 [1])
The one now listed has both the packaging ('debian' branch) and upstream ('master' branch), and the one at alioth is the same. However, the one at alioth has been having problems that's been causing issues with updates to it; I still plan to continue mirroring the repo there but first I have to fix the issues it has.

But it's also true that the packaging branch in neither repo is not the default branch, and that unlike github that cannot be changed; so I'll need to update those fields in the debian/control to include the branch info.


- debian/rules has a redundant override_dh_installchangelogs target
I don't now recall why I left that in there when I rewrote the file; I'll fix it...


- your debian/README.source is redundant given that you use source
format "3.0 (quilt)"
Perhaps; but while a DD or DM might know that, whom else would? I've been using such a file since before I joined the Perl team [1], and haven't really been considering it redundant since many people would not know what that format means. But you consider not really necessary to have it?
