I agree with the above, but:

Package: ttysnoop
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 116
Maintainer: Paul Haggart <phaggart@debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.12c-7
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1)
Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/admin/ttysnoop_0.12c-7.deb

MD5sum: c8d903ea4a5e399a19eb1439e8eb01d7
Description: TTY Snoop - allows you to spy on telnet+serial connections
 TTYSnoop allows you to snoop on login tty's through another tty-device or
 pseudo-tty. The snoop-tty becomes a 'clone' of the original tty,
 redirecting both input and output from/to it.
