Two points of information:
1) This upload allows figlet to move back from non-free to main. I have
received confirmation on both debian-legal [1] and the figlet
mailinglist [2] that figlet is DFSG-compliant.
2) I am not hijacking this package. I have been in contact with the
existing maintainer and he his happy for me to be co-maintainer.
Thanks,
Jon
