Description : tempfile from debianutils
debianutils is currently blocked from migrating to testing [1] due to
its removal of tempfile from the Essential:yes set [2].
The debianutils maintainer would like to avoid reintroducing tempfile in
debianutils but is willing to add a Depends relationship to another
package that implements tempfile.
I thus just packaged the last version of tempfile from debianutils in
this new source package. The packaging can be found at [3].
This version of tempfile is the same as the last version of tempfile
shipped by debianutils and thus includes the deprecation warning.
The package is supposed to be temporary until all tools moved away from
tempfile (famous last words).
