Hi Thomas,
thanks a lot for your message.
I think that the task to update the old Debian package with the new
upstream release is quickly done by someone who knows about the current
Lintian stuff, etc. I cannot do it in due time since it is too long ago
when I was building Debian packages myself and I am not up-to-date for
sure. Moreover, I could imagine that it is no mess for a current Debian
package maintainer because the Perl module consists of only one file.
I will try to contact and ask Debian's Perl package maintainers. That's
actually a good idea.
Thanks again,
Thomas
