Hello,

I would like to suggest to remove lcrack from Debian. The software has not
evolved since 2004 and upstream website has disappeared.

There are better alternatives to crack passwords such as hashcat and john.
However forensics-extra does depend on it, it would have to be updated first.

Are there any objections?

Cheers,
