Perl is under a dual GPL/artistic license, and so is this module. You do not have to rename a fork; You could just upload a new package to CPAN and Debian with an increased version number, and a copy of the email where upstream stated that he would incorporate your changes. Yes, it would still be a fork, but it would look like a NMU... (Also, keep in mind that upstream probably stopped answering your email because he's not that interested in the module anymore). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
