Now that I think of it, the SDBM files also need to be installed under
/usr/lib instead of /usr/share . The easiest way to do that is to
force everything to /usr/lib/perl5:

% perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLVENDORLIB=/usr/lib/perl5

The alternative is to install the SDBM files into a separate
directory, eg.  /usr/lib/libmarc-charset-perl, and add symlinks under
/usr/share/perl5. This should give a cleaner result, as the files don't
really belong under either of the perl5 directories.

The procedure is given in the Developer's Reference, section 5.5.1. 
The important thing is getting approval from debian-release before
uploading. I suppose we should use something like branches/etch for
this in the SVN repository.

I hope I can find the time to prepare uploads tomorrow night, but 
I'm quite happy if somebody else wants to take it over from here :)

Cheers,
