It sounds quite generally useful. Especially in light of the trend toward enforcing the DFSG on data as well as code - and with the Wig & Pen source format it will be convenient to ship .xcf files as Debian additions to packages. Integrating xcftopnm into netpbm is another option, though I'm not sure whether xcfinfo belongs there. > Nonetheless, packaging one's own software does smell slightly of > "vanity package" -- I'd appreciate comments. Not at all, if it's actually useful. And it sounds to me as though this is.
