Well, if we had voting on NEW packages, this would be first on my list of
software never to be allowed into debian. The name is wrong, and the author
appears to have a bubble on his neck that needs to be burst, if he thinks
otherwise.
The license is poor as well.
ps: I'm ignoring the auto-sig issue. That's just plain stupidity.
