Hi,

I'd like to raise a discussion about PPTP (package name is pptp-linux).
The package is used to connect to the internet, mostly with DSL connections.

According to popcon.debian.org is at #3218 with 323 installations.
Although that number isn't very high, many people in many places (e.g.
Austria, Italy, Israel) depend on this package for internet
connectivity. Without internet connection many people tend to abend
debian during the installation phase.

The package isn't large (91 KB) according to
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/pptp-linux.

I'd like to hear what people have to say for/against this bug report.
