that's no problem, I would call the page "Programs that cannot or should not

Exactly this was the idea.
Does anybody know of other programs which cannot / should not be packaged
for Debian?
Well, after Nelson has clarified that gff2ps should be packaged we can wait
about the decision of the fasta author. Quoting the essence of his mails
as the reason might give our users enough knowledge why we do not package
ist and what they should do instead. But I continue to hope that we
could change the authors mind.
A further candidate for listing in this category would be tkfp (Tk Family
Practice). I would have a second view on the package. If nothing
changed to the situation two years ago the reason is that the package
contains end depends from so many software packages with old versions
that we definitely would run into a jungle of conflicts.
Kind regards
Andreas.
