Debian ships very old software (rplay, paps)

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>]

It is annoying that Debian ships very old software.
For instance:

  * rplay, with the latest changes in 1999 and potential
    security issues:
      https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1118224

  * paps 0.6.8, while 2 new major versions have been available
    (the current version is 0.8.0). So, in Debian, paps still
    does not honor locales:
      https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=759331
    (a bug I had reported 11 years ago, with a patch, and
    which was fixed upstream 10 years ago).
