Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

GNOME's gnome-control-center (aka Settings) component removed[1] use of the
apg command-line password generator in Y2012.

In addition, Debian's apg maintainance indicates[2] that upstream support is
no longer available, and that it would be preferable to migrate to
alternatives.

As a result, I think we should drop the dependency on apg.  I'll offer a merge
request on Salsa to do this and will link to that from this bugreport.

Thanks,
James
