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
