  Description     : pretty-printer for BibTeX databases

This is a pretty-printer and syntax-checker (actually, more of a
linter) for bibliographic databases in the BibTeX format. It is a
useful tool for canonicalizing the layout of personal bibliographies
with entries fetched from many different sources.

I have used this myself for several years at work and was surprised to
find that it wasn't in Debian when I moved my bibliography to my own
Debian box. I have done most of the packaging and have a sponsor for
uploading, but still need to contact the upstream author to get a
proper license. There is no copyright or license information in the
upstream tarball, but newer programs by the same author are GPL'ed so
the odds of getting a free license should be good.
