I just tried uudecode (from sharutils 1:4.2.1-13), and it does not seem
to support yEnc at all.

According to
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=uudecode&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386
sharutils contains the only "uudecode" in Debian, so I'm not sure what
the commentor in the bug was talking about.

I guess I should go ahead and start preparing an updated package for
yydecode.
