Re: rdp-client package
Yes it's unlikely anything will depend on it, although there could be a case
made for a task which pulls in all the packages necessary for a 'thin
client'. One would then conceivably want terminal-server-client rather than
specifically rdesktop, rwin, etc.. I think update-alternatives is probably
what I'm after... in which case the question about a suitable name still
stands... the geeks or the users?
I see xterm (which I figure is a similar package) 'provides'
x-terminal-emulator...
