Great! I think this will end the confusion of some users about the perl and perl-base packages. > 2. The man-pages and html-docs would go into a separate perl-doc > package. Ok. There is on other thing I always wanted to discuss here: IMHO we need a policy for perl library/module packages. CPAN contains lots of very useful modules which we should include in the Debian distribution. IMHO we need a policy for naming of the packages, how many packages we need (a module in one package?), and so on. Any comments?
