Were did you add it? On your Debian box, you should have:

% find /usr/local/share/request-tracker3 -type f
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3/lib/RT/EmailParser_Local.pm
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3/lib/RT/User_Local.pm
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3/lib/RT/Interface/Email/Auth/MailFrom_Local.pm
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3/lib/RT/Interface/Email_Local.pm
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3/html/autohandler
...

Read /usr/share/doc/request-tracker3/INSTALL.Debian.gz:

If you do intend to change the look and feel of the site by editing
the HTML::Mason files you should, of course, do this in the
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3/html/ tree to avoid losing your
precious changes on upgrade of the Debian package.
