Nice. You plan to leave the description in debian/control unchanged?
Then I suspect people will still follow just the link there and might
get stuck the way I did. It's so clickable in
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libdbd-oracle-perl
Also README.Debian is not accessible before the package is installed,
but it's not installable before the procedures described there to
install the instant client have been followed %-)
So I'd rather re-phrase the last sentence, use an URL to your README,
and also mention the arch restriction.

<https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libdbd-oracle-perl.git/tree/debian/README>
This might be a bit unusual, but quite a lot about this package is
unusual anyway ...
Just my suggestion, use it, drop it, whatever you think is right.
