I have enough things to keep me busy; if the first one I look at can be
turned into something useful in d-i, seems to have reasonable integration
and maintenance costs, and has a maintainer who is happy to let me modify
the packaging accordingly, then it's unlikely I'll spend more time looking
at an alternative.

Not that I wouldn't appreciate such a comparison in theory; in practice,
time is limited. If others want to compare both, feel free to.


Cheers,
