Yes, that's mandatory, unless the version is so old that it was removed from 
debian old-stable (the release before Debian stable, i.e. a release at least 4 
years old).

Most of the heavy lifting, including upgrade and version update can be done by 
dh-make-raku. Once the package builds fine, update salsa repo and I'll do the 
upload.

See https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/dh-make-raku/dh-make-raku.1p.en.html

But bear in mind that raku module build is quite unpredictable as long as 
rakudo compiler id generation is not stabilized.

All the best
