debianutils: please read! (Re: ITP: mklibs.sh)
Previously, I expressed my ITP (not bug wnpp yet) for mklibs.sh
which is part of boot-floppies right now, and some other package(s)
depends on boot-floppies solely for the functionality of mklibs.sh,
a >600 lines of shell script to make minimum libs for initrd et al.

But after a (fake ;-) ITP announce by me to debian-devel, Marcus (author
of mklibs.sh) replied:

Thus, I'm wondering if other packages could suck mklibs.sh in? In particular
I'm wondering if debianutils could suck mklibs.sh in? If no objection
received, I will go file a wishlist bug towards debianutils. ;-)
