I have ist download vrom ftp.de.debian.org (it is in slink/main/X11/) but not testet. But I have found a big bug: In the copyright file is NO upstream-author and no copyright! Please remove it from ftp.debian.org and check the copyright first!! Software with no copyright is not free! And BTW: I think tailroot or roottail or xroottail is a better name for the package and the program as rt. Grisu
