Since it often could not found in copyright/<package-name>; e.g. 
adduser (cryptic), 
bin86, 
bootpc, 
bootpd.txt (please rename the file), 
bsdutils (cryptic), 
byacc, 
chfn, 
cron (includes syslog from smail, but does not tell where to get smail),
diffutils, 
dpkg (yes, please also include the source dirs for the native Debian
    tools; dpkg mentions /usr/bin/md5sum: not ftpdir),
ed,
emacs (!), 
file,
fping,
hostname,
image,
less, 
lpr,
mtools,
netbase,
netstd,
patch,
pcnfsd,
popclient,
rpc,
shar,
sysvinit,
tcp_wrapper,
time (cryptic),
w3

Approx 50% of the progs I've installed.  No flame intended -- I hope,
the maintainers will read this mail.  Thanks, Karl.
