Bug#913788: 9base: should mk diserve its own package?



Package: 9base
Version: 1:6-7+b1
Severity: wishlist

Dear 9base maintainers,

mk meant to be the "a Successor to Make" (Tenth Edition Research Unix
Manuals) and as mkfiles much more easier to maintain than the makefiles,
i actually replaced make in my projects. Shipping those ones, i realize
that mk is:

* hidden in the 9base package, giving it few chances to be noticed by
  debian users.
* installed /usr/lib/plan9/bin/mk so you need to symlink it somewhere in
  the $PATH to be used after the package installation.

i think mk deserve it's own package and i would be pleased to help to
make it happen but i don't know the best way to do it.
