Hey Maarten,

Excellent! Thank you for working on the packaging of this extension.

Don't worry about RT4, that'll be removed from unstable Real Soon Now, I
wanted to wait until Trixie was released before requesting it is removed. We
can add in RT6 support once I upload RT6 to unstable (almost ready).

You probably want to have a Build-Depends on libmodule-install-rtx-perl
which will then install all the request-trackerX packages that we're
supporting in Debian on the target release.

Pretty much all the extension packages under
https://salsa.debian.org/request-tracker-team/ follow the same conventions -
I see you've already copied the debian/rules file.

Cheers,
Andrew
