  Description     : Abstraction for Packagers

 App::Packager provides an abstract interface to a number of common packagers,
 trying to catch as much common behaviour as possible.  The main purpose is to
 have uniform access to application specific resources.  Supported packagers are
 PAR::Packer, Cava::Packager and unpackaged. In the latter case, the packager
 functions are emulated via Cava::Packager which provides fallback for
 unpackaged use.

Version 2.05.1 of the eekboek package, which I am currently packaging,
(build)depends upon libperl-app-packager .  There has been no upstream work on
App::Packager since Aug 2023.  It would be cool if the packaging of
libperl-app-packager could be done within the
https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team framework.

Thanks, Bye,

Joost
