Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
From the readme:
Scanssh scans the given addresses and networks for running SSH
servers. It will query their version number and displays the results
in a list.
This program was originally written under OpenBSD as a personal
measurement tool. However, besides gathering statistics, it's also
useful for other purposes such as ensuring that all machines on your
network run the latest SSH versions, etc...

[Cc'ed to debian-devel because of earlier discussion and because of
questions I pose below.]
NOTES:
- A test version of the package is available at
<http://people.debian.org/~rweber/prelim/>. Please note that it is a TEST
package and the version will not be incremented for the final release.
(The only non-potato box I have is a chroot, so this is barely tested
yet.)
- Upstream agreed with me that the semantics of the -E option (whether to
exit if the exclude file is not specified/found) should change, and
supplied me a patch from the CVS. I want to avoid changing this option
between releases, but this makes my package inconsistent with the
published version. It *is* documented as the new usage, but does anyone
think that this is a particularly bad idea?
- License is BSD, except that it diffs with the license in
/usr/share/common-licenses/BSD:
---------------------------- C U T H E R E ----------------------------

I must assume this is ok, but since it does differ, do I need to go to
debian-legal to be sure? I don't need to include the full license, do I?
