I took a look at this package. The packaging is well done, and the
package is lintian clean except for a small error, which Vikram fixed
swiftly at my request.

Vikram is also planning to package hrbuilder, a resume builder 
(http://www.igidr.ac.in/~ajayshah/) and httpfetcher,  a library for
simplifying http fetches (http://sourceforge.net/projects/http-fetcher/).

Tasks and skills check passed.
