The Debian Oracle is glad you asked! This is an important fashion
question: what headware should one ask when using each Debian package.
Any confusion about this issue can cause severe embarrassment, such as
excessive quoting.
There is excessive literature on other items of apparel for each Debian
package. The Left-Sock-Color and Glove-Material package headers alone
are worth their weight in gold (assuming a standard weight bit).
For hats, the two most common styles are the American baseball cap,
possibly adorned with a chicken logo, or the construction site "hard
hat" helmet, in honor of all the hard work that goes into each Debian
package.
For this package in particular, since it is meant for testing the
security and robustness of wireless networks, a hair net would be the
obvious, though daring choice. Hair nets can be found in many materials
and colors, from pink rubber to green leather and beyond. The classics,
such as clear nailon, are of course always a good choice.
You owe the Debian Oracle a patch to icedove to warn about quoting more
than you write yourself.
