Hi David,

apologies for the late reply.

Apparently Plack::Middleware::Debug is not as optional as I had assumed,
at least when following the Intro. I'm awfully sorry about that, and
while I'll make it a requirement for the next Poet package, there's
little I can do for the version released with Debian Wheezy.

As a workaround, you can comment the 'enable "Debug";' line in
my_app/bin/app.psgi; that should let you start your server without
error.
