I never used dirvish nor backuppc, so I can't really say what the
difference are. But it seems like bontmia is simpler than both
(especially backuppc). I can't really say if that's a reason for
creating a new package, I personally would like it, because it's already
running on several of my machines, but beside of that, it wouldn't be a
big problem for me to close my ITP.

What do you think?
