  Description     : Windows tools used by virt-v2v

 This package contains open-source replacements for
 proprietary Windows tools, SrvAny (RHSrvAny) and pnp_wait.
 They are used by the virt-v2v tool when converting
 Windows virtual machines.

This is required for virt-v2v (see https://bugs.debian.org/962293)
which was formerly part of libguestfs in Buster and now the
subject of its own RFP bug linked above.
The draft of that package is in the libvirt team,
and if this package is accepted, I'd anticipate joining that team
for team maintenance and sponsorship. The code itself is quite stable,
with a limited purpose and having seen little need for changes in
the past several years, so I anticipate
packaging maintenance load to be low.
