May I suggest we audit the hell out of the code of tools like this
before they come into Debian? :)
This is basically a spyware tool, with huge privacy implications.
For example, from a simple usability perspective, we may want to make
the "-n" option the default (ie. don't log actual keystrokes, just
timing).
Of course, we should also make sure the data stays on disk... (as
opposed to being sent to a third-party server)
