Alright :)

I think the question is: What is your objective?
- If you want to learn creating Debian packages and join the Debian
  Perl Group and maintain 4000 packages -- great, we need more
  people!
- If you want to get Env::Assert into Debian, the easiest way is to
  ask us to package it :)

If it's the latter: I just spent 2 minutes with dh-make-perl and
Env::Assert, and if I spend 5 minutes more, I can upload the package
to the archive. [0]

If it's the former: Additionally to Andrius' hints we can give you
more pointers for getting into the packaging business.


Cheers,

[0] Although I just realize that this might be better named envassert
than libenv-assert-perl, as it's more about the binary than the
library, right?
