I've always found it funny that the upstream author's name doesn't appear
anywhere during package selection (except in /usr/doc/PACKAGE/ after a
package is installed).
The author should get the credit, and more exposition...
Or are we afraid that they might get bug reports that should go the the
Debian bug tracking system?
