You probably mean other tools in Debian, but if you more generally mean other FLOSS tools, there is (an inferior [Crypt::PW44] and) [Crypt::XkcdPassword] which I have considered packging. ...or at least I suspect it might be superior, so let me rephrase as curious questions for your xkcdpass tool: * Does it handle alternate dictionaries (e.g. danish)? * Does it handle massaging dictionary (e.g. strip profanities)? Crypt::XkcdPassword by default uses "the most commonly used words in film scripts and television shows", and documents examples of adaptations at <https://metacpan.org/pod/Crypt::XkcdPassword::Examples>. That's meant not only as friendly competition but also as inspiration for "your" tool in case you find those adaption features relevant.
