Just a few things:
* This package creates a stray /usr/lib/perl5 directory. (I think I
forgot to check this with your other package as well, actually.)
After make install, add:
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty --parents $(TMP)/usr/lib/perl5
to get rid of it. Most Perl module packages want either this or the
equivalent command for /usr/share/perl5.
* This bit from the description:
To use, simply load the module providing the functions you want to
use as arguments (as shown in the SYNOPSIS). For now, to aid in
clarity and code maintenance, you will need to name the functions
explicitly, rather than just importing everything.
is usage information rather than a description of the package. I'd
leave it off. People using Perl modules should expect to run perldoc
on the module to figure out how to use it.
* In the first paragraph of the description, I'd drop the "a hell of a
lot" and just say that it makes checking parameters easier. Also, in
the last sentence, I think that should be "it should" rather than "in
should".
* The copyright statement in debian/copyright isn't a copy of the
statement in the module itself. What it says is substantively the
same, but I'm paranoid about that sort of thing and would rather see a
cut and paste of the COPYRIGHT section of the perldoc for the module
into debian/copyright (preceded by the package information and source
location and followed by the standard text about where to find the GPL
and Artistic license, of course).
Everything else looks good. Drop me a line when the above has been fixed
and I'll be happy to sponsor the upload.
