There's a problem with packaging Data::Pagination -- there is no copyright information documented with the module, meaning that a package could not be accepted into Debian proper. Attempts [1] by Robin and Tomás to get the maintainer to supply copyright and license statements have met with silence. That isn't a technical bar to building a .deb and putting it up on Koha's APT repo, but we should avoid doing so unless there is no other choice. However, there are other pagination modules available, including at least one (Data::Page) that is already packaged for Debian. There's only one script that uses Data::Pagination (and a module that imports it but doesn't use it), so making a switch shouldn't be very time consuming. It looks like Archive::Extract has been packaged for Jessie, so presumably making a backport to host on our APT repo would be feasible.
