Bug#869692: RFS: cyclograph/1.9.1-1



Hello,

elyxer will be probabbly removed from Debian in the near future, so we cannot use it anymore to generate the user manual.
In the RC3 of the package the html file is generated from a asciidoc file.

In the meantime lintian started to warn about a new privacy-breach-generic: the package contains an html file which uses Open Layers and has the option to show the Google Maps tiles. This obviously involves using the Google Maps service. The usage of this tile is explicitly described as part of the Google Maps service so I think it's up to the user to use this service and trust Google or not use it.

I think that every user should be free to chose the service it wants, so I'd propose to override this warning. The other viable alternative I see is to have a Debian patch to disable the Google Maps tiles and use only Open Street Map.
