Are your branch available somewhere ?

I would like that all koha dependencies be available in lenny.
Can you tell me if something will still be missing ?

For lenny, it is a really small job. Only Biblio::EndnoteStyle
was missing (it is in the new queue now)
And I expect a little mess with Text::CSV_XS and Text::CSV
=> Does koha really need both of these packages ?

Some lenny package are not fully up-to-date with upstream.
Can Koha developpers tell me which version requirement are needed ?

And is it normal that such a number of theses modules are not present
in Makefile.PL ?
