Hello,   
      
   I realized that this is a perl thing. Sorry, this is over my   
   horizon. I am not able to contribute code to this.   
      
   But I also thought it might be worse to modify the existing tools.   
      
   I context of SPDX there still is "reuse" as a tool offering the "spdx"   
   command. The command "reuse spdx" gives clear information about all   
   machine readable SPDX meta data in a repo. And "reuse lint" gives clear   
   information if all files are covered by SPDX.   
      
   So there still is a tool to read SPDX data. Why not integrate that   
   somehow in the Debian toolchain for projects offering   
   100%-SPDX-covarage?   
      
   Wouldn't it ease the burden for maintainers at Debian and upstream?   
      
   Regards,   
   Christian
