Hello,

FWIW, lintian 1.23.48 claims that the warning for filing a new ITP can be
ignored if the package is a split-off of already existing Debian package. I
can only gues about the reasoning behind, but it might be that the ITP
reporter in the first place had already been mentioned that `program forbar
will also be included'. I'm didn't check if that is the case with ipe's ITP,
though, but in any case yet another ITP would be superfluous.
[1] checks/changelog-file.desc: this is in the warning tagged
`new-package-should-close-itp-bug', Info: "... can be ignored if it is a
split of an existing Debian package".
