As an interesting side note, some of these packages have bugs filed against
them that seem quite easy to fix:
bezerk
#70165: automatic build fails for potato
bridge
#17153: bridge.postinst error (fwd)
#22883: bridge: copyright file still in /usr/doc/copyright
#70212: automatic build fails for potato
#78451: small bug in Potato, /etc/init.d/bridge
#84513: failed to build from source
#91124: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man
nasm-mode
#70823: wrong permissions

#35406: /usr/doc/swish/* aren't world readable.

#91047: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man
type1inst
#91051: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man
Another thought, bridge contains the userspace tools for operating an ethernet
bridge on Linux 2.0, we have have not supported the 1.x versions of the Linux
kernel for some time, is it about time that we dropped the support for version
2.0?
