There are a number of packages in Debian which already do exactly this.
What is this package actually going to add over the current set? Each
desktop already has a screenshot applet of it's own and screengrab
exists as a crossplatform screenshot tool.

Is it executable remotely? Does it have some extras not covered in the
description? There needs to be something to make this worth having in
Debian besides being another me-too vanity package.
