I've packaged into refdb-lib only those perl libraries written by Markus 
as adjuncts to refdb.  As such they are of no use to anyone outside the 
refdb project.  I do not quite understand your objection to packaging 
them as refdb-lib.

Term::Clui has not yet been made an official Debian package (don't know 
why -- I love using it) so I packaged it as 'libperl-term-clui'.  It has 
been part of the 'release' and 'svn' repositories since 2005-09-10.  As 
soon as someone supplies an official debian package of it I'll remove mine.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regards,
David.
