Ok, i've read too fast, i'll try to be clearer.
I think it would be consistent to name your package 
libperl-refDB-perlmod instead of refdb-lib, to be in agreement with 
debian policy (to tell the thrut, i don't know what is the correct 
policy for perl modules in debian).

This is not very important, just a remark, though :-)
