bc



OK I would like to know how this monstrosity made it into Debian Stable:

$ whatis bc
bc (1)               - An arbitrary precision calculator language
$ bc
bc 1.06

I have looked into the man page, and nothing there indicates this kind of 
nonsense.  I hereby propose renaming the package into "a calculator with a 
very arbitrary precision"
