Packaging for Debian is much more about following the policy, which
deliberately involves human intervention and judgement, and can't very
well be automated. RPM, as I understand it, is more lax and a simple RPM
can be generated quite automatically.

Can you give an example of what you mean:

  * How straightforward do you find performing the Debian packaging for
    a Perl package, and what tools do you use to do it?

  * Would you consider it sufficient for the same (or equivalent)
    process to apply for Debian packaging of a Python package?
