  Description     : Draws signalling charts from textual description

Msc-generator is a program that parses textual Message Sequence
Chart descriptions and produces graphical output in a variety of file formats.

Msc-generator heavily borrows in concept from the 0.08 version of
Michael C McTernan's mscgen. However, it has been completely rewritten from
scratch and has a much more extensive (and only partially backwards compatible)
language. The command-line interface is fully backwards compatible with
mscgen, which enables using Msc-generator's commandline tool everywhere
where you can use mscgen, but with the richer syntax.
This includes the many tools integrated with mscgen, such as Doxygen, Sphinx
and Msctexen.

I am already packaging it in my Ubuntu Launchpad PPA, and it is used by some
(including myself). I wish to bring it to Debian proper though.
I can maintain the package myself, but need a sponsor.
