Carsten Munk has specifically requested that UnrealIRCd not be included in Debian, and will likely be hostile towards it's inclusion. Secondly, UnrealIRCd uses OpenSSL for SSL support, and non DFSG-free versions of the MD5 algorithm for hostcloaking. Both of these DFSG violations would be required for inclusion into Debian, as they are also a GPL license violation. There is also questions concerning why you would want to package something that has effectively a dead upstream, and many code flaws which could result in security issues in the future. William
