is this intended to be part of the description? If yes, I'd suggest to
drop it, because:

 - it has been renamed to byobu
 - the package is in debian as well
 - is the implementation helpful information to decide which of the two
  more appropriate for a given usecase?


I had not seen byobu package, I agree.
I propose :
myscreen is much lighter than byobu. myscreen will not allow you to customize a profile, because all statistics are provided by a single small program written in C named myscreen-stats. myscreen is expected to consume very few resources and it is particularly suitable for systems with limited resources.

Thanks,
