Bug#92861: ITP: apg - Automated Password Generator
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I'd like to package apg by Adel I. Mirzazhanov. It is a nice program
that can generate pronounceable passwords and offers more control over
the passwords then pwgen does. pwgen's passwords are also quite
predictable, while apg's passwords don't look the same every time.
apg can be downloaded from http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/ and is
licensed under a custom license that sounds DFSG-free to me (but IANAL):

The author doesn't mind having a Debian package, and he isn't aware of
any Debian people working on an apg package as of now.
Greetings
