Very cool.  I'll check the package out.  I've got the ITP for big brother, 
and plan on filing one for big sister (a perl GPL clone of BB), since the 
author is excited about it being packaged for Debian.

Hopefully, we can make all of these play nice with each other, and 
replaceable with each other.  Maybe we can define a 'provides' like 
'bbclient' or 'bbserver' so we can use any of the possible combos.

feel free to write me offlist,

Seth
