I'm not convinced that it should, given the current description of
wireless-tools (for wext, basically); this would be broadening the scope of
that package somewhat. It may as well be merged into bluetooth, AFAICS...

Anyway, I've just noticed that this merge into wireless-tools has been done
in Ubuntu, "nicely" pre-empting this, making the package description
wrong(!) and, as it happens, using the same git snapshot which I've used:
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/2009-July/004809.html

BTW, http://tartarus.org/~ds/pkg/rfkill_0.1-4-g9429740-1.dsc if anybody wants
to have a quick look at the package as it stands. (The .diff.gz contains a
man page which upstream may want.)

Any system that depends on reliability is unreliable.
