Much thanks for doing this packages. They were my "first touch" with 
gtk-perl. And that's why I am writing here. IMHO we should make it as 
much easy and as little frightening as possible for new people to get 
familiar with gtk-perl. This is the best way to spread the word.

For me as an debian "sarge" user, "much easy and little frightening" is 
installing a dpkg. Thanks for doing this! But why are your packages 
"unstable" packages? It is not frightening to insert a new line in my 
sources.list, but... it will only work, if I also insert a line for 
debian unstable and install a lot of debian unstable packages. For my 
good old "sarge" system, this _is_ a bit frightening. Later I installed 
perl-gtk from CVS on a pure sarge system. It does work! So why have 
there to be dependancies to debian unstable?

thanks,
