+<p>The Norwegian <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</A>
+site is build on Debian/Squeeze, and this platform was choosed because
+I am most familiar with Debian (being a Debian Developer for around 10
+years) because it is the latest stable Debian release which should get
+security support for a few years.</p>
+
+<p>The web service is written in Perl, and depend on some perl modules
+that are missing in Debian at the moment. It would be great if these
+modules were added to the Debian archive, allowing anyone to set up
+their own <a href="http://www.fixmystreet.com">FixMyStreet</a> clone
+in their own country using only Debian packages. The list of modules
+missing in Debian/Squeeze isn't very long, and I hope the perl group
+will find time to package the 12 modules Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI,
+Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding, Catalyst::View::TT, Devel::Hide,
+Sort::Key, Statistics::Distributions, Template::Plugin::Comma,
+Template::Plugin::DateTime::Format, Term::Size::Any, Term::Size::Perl,
+URI::SmartURI and Web::Scraper to make the maintainence of FixMystreet
+easier in the future.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to the great tools in Debian, getting the missing modules
+installed on my server was a simple call to 'cpan2deb Module::Name'
+and 'dpkg -i' to install the resulting package. But this leave me
+with the responsibility of tracking security problems, which I really
+do not have time for.</p>
