Hi Mike: I can only speak for RPM packaging as I do not have any experience with deb package creation.
For both Python and Perl, you can reference dependencies via the package name, i.e. if your RPM requires perl-Tk, then you just put that in your requires, like: Requires: perl-Tk For Perl, there is an alternative way to specify this dependency, as follows: Requires: perl(XML::Simple) This requires the specific Perl module, which is not specific to the package name, so this dependency will work on distributions who choose to have difference names for the specific Perl module package (eg. Fedora vs SuSE). This naming convention currently does not exist for Python. Hope this helps!
