ii  ppp            2.4.1.uus-3    Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon.

I suppose the files moved in one of the two intervening versions, though
I see nothing in the changelog. mjb?

joeyh@auric:~>grep-excuses ppp
     * ppp (2.4.1.uus-1 to 2.4.1.uus-3)
          + Maintainer: Michael Beattie
          + 27 days old (needed 10 days)
          + ppp (source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips,
            mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc) is buggy! (1 > 0)
          + Not considered

I guess I need to make base-config handle both versions of ppp then. Sigh.
