Yes, absolutely; however, I expect to be swamped with work for the next
week or two.  Here's an example of a moderately complex case of similar
file-mode.el bundled in upstream src:package, with atomic commits for
each operation:

  https://salsa.debian.org/sten-guest/tuareg-mode/commits/master

The biggest changes are perlcritic.el is added to
"debian/elpa-perlcritic.elpa", with some definitions in d/control, plus
the Debian-specific customisation I noted previously.  Breaks & replaces
are essential, but please omit provides in this case.  The
elpa-perlcritic.pkg file might need a hint for successful generation.
#debian-emacs is a friendly team too, so feel free to drop by even if
I'm not there :-)


Happy hacking,
Nicholas
