I think it's best to follow Perl Policy 4.2 "Module Package Names".
That is, libtest-tap-model-perl. Same for libtest-tap-htmlmatrix-perl.

Hi all,

If you had just said that you were hosting a dinner, that'd be one thing. But
you solicted resumes. That's what pushed it into UCE land.

I have no idea how or why flac ended up with a debconf dependency; it
