Last time I tried, the dpkg-buildpackage of my "debianised" branch
failed messily and I didn't debug it.  I still haven't cloned that git
branch to alioth because there was some mixup with my key and now
that's fixed I've forgotten/lost the instructions.

Some of the dependency sources are at
either my scratchpad http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/deb-src/
or its parent directory or on
http://www-id.imag.fr/Laboratoire/Membres/Danjean_Vincent/deb.html
Vincent Danjean's site.  They need a bit of updating and tidying to
meet debian policy and the required versions.

I think we may now need (updated) packages for the following modules:
 Array::Compare Biblio::EndnoteStyle Convert::ASN1 Data::ICal
 Date::ICal Date::Leapyear DublinCore::Record IO List::MoreUtils
 MARC-XML MARC::Charset MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore MARC::Record
 Net::LDAP POE Schedule::At Sub::Uplevel Test::Exception
 Test::LongString Test::Manifest Test::NoWarnings Test::Simple
 Test::Tester Test::Warn Text::CSV Text::CSV_XS Text::Iconv
 Text::vFile::asData Tree::DAG_Node XML::Dumper XML::LibXML
 XML::LibXSLT XML::RSS YAML::Syck
so it's probably not a small job, but not that hard either.

I've not worked on this for a while because I'm being paid for an Mac
OS X installation and customisations, but I'm open to modest financial
incentives... (mail me off-list ;-) )
