Hi,

as far as I can see David has packaged only the RefDB::??? Perl modules,
assuming that other modules like Term::Clui are available from other sources.
This basically satisfies your concerns about "usurping" non-RefDB code.

However, I can't see that refdb-lib depends on Term::Clui (most likely because
the latter does not seem to be available as a .deb). This would not prevent the
installation of the package, but it would cause the makestyle script to fail.

regards,
Markus
