Re: Package dump1090-mutability recommends python but doesn't contain python tools
Since mutability repository is unmaintained sooner or later we will have either
switch or drop the package.
So I vote for option 4. Switch to dump1090-fa. I suppose that we will have to
introduce a new package as dump1090-fa with "Replaces:" in control file.
