+perlbal (1.80-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+
+  TODO:
+  - d/rules: the override is not necessary, adding something like
+    "debian/perlbal.conf etc/perlbal/" to d/perlbal.install is shorter and
+    more idiomatic
+  - d/perlbal.docs - the installed docs/README is rather unhelpful; but
+    listing all files separately is also not funny, so just leave it :)
+  - d/libperlbal-perl.docs: does README provide anything that's not covered
+    somewhere else? if yes: good :) but at least here docs/README can be
+    removed
+  - d/compat -> 8 (7 is a bit antique, and we would have to change which of
+    the 7.x.y feature might be needed; with 8 we can skip that). also
+    "debhelper (>= 8)" in d/control
+    [and a new enough dh-make-perl would set it to 8]
+  - d/control:
+    + no versions needed for libdanga-socket-perl and libio-aio-perl (nothing
+      older in the archive) and libperlbal-xs-httpheaders-perl (not in the
+      archive, so I'd rather remove it)
+    + is Test::More really needed at runtime?
+    + "libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.94)" --> "perl (>= 5.11.1) | libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.94)"
+    + binary:Version should probably be source:Version (not that it changes
+      anything for arch:all packages)
+    + remove unversioned "perl" from Depends
+    + maintainer should be the group, and hachi in Uploaders
+    + Vcs-* fields missing
+    + current Standards-Version is 3.9.3
+    + short description should start with a small letter (unless a proper
+      noun), so "Perl-based" is fine but "Libraries" should lowercased
+  - d/copyright: outdated format (run "cme fix dpkg-copyright" to get to
+    Format-Specification 1.0")
+  - d/copyright: "grep -ir copyright *" shows that some files have
+    additional/different copyright holders -> add them
+  - patches: please add complete DEP3 headers
+
+  // general hints:
+  // always run (the newest) lintian with all flags turned on against the .changes files
+  // try to use tools from unstable (dh-make-perl)
 
   * Initial release. (Closes: #456534: RFP: perlbal -- Perl-based
     reverse proxy load balancer and web-server)
