Package: libmodglue1v5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

prompt and ptywrap are two very useful tools, but they're not even
mentioned in libmodglue1v5's package description, hence nobody knows
that these gems are hidden inside a library package (which nearly nobody
would install manually as those packages are expected to be pulled in by
other packages only).

To change that, it's probably the best to package them separately,
e.g. in a package named "modglue-utils" in e.g. section "utils", since
there is no real upgrade path for library packages which change their
name every then and when.

See also this (still experimental) lintian warning:
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/application-in-library-section.html

Otherwise please at least mention prompt and ptywrap in libmodglue1v5's
package description.
