Can you please explain me the reason for this hijack without any
announce?  There was no hurry in adopting this package (it was broken
since a while) and moreover there is a real plan going on to completely
replace a stand-alone package with one which use the busybox version
instead:

  http://bugs.debian.org/537623

Note that I do not care to maintain this package, but I care about the
above plan, which also reduces duplicate code in the Debian archive.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
