I converted this once but I guess it got lost.  I don't have it any
more.

When I tried converting this one, some things didn't work.  I think
this may be one of those apps where ncurses termcap emulation doesn't
work.

> sysklogd-1.2-22.deb	Maintainer: Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org>

This (or syslog) was converted at one time.  In fact the control file
still says it depends on libc5.  Who built this with an a.out
environment?

> diald-0.11-3.deb	Maintainer: Giuseppe Vacanti <Giuseppe.Vacanti@DeSelby.xs4all.nl>

This should also be upgraded to version 0.14 ASAP.  The later version
is needed to work properly with changes in recent kernels.
