Frans and Christian have supported the *principle* of having such a tool
included in etch, but neither has indicated that they're able to speak for
the quality of this *particular* tool. That makes it difficult to judge
that allowing this new package in is a safe change that improves Debian,
because there's a lack of information available, and this is precisely the
sort of tool that screams "will cause data loss if anything goes wrong."
Successful use reports from folks using this package in Debian might tip the
balance; but in the absence of bug reports, "works good" is
indistinguishable from "no one's using it".
