Bug#933097: RFA: ascii -- interactive ASCII name and synonym chart

[Florian Ernst <florian_ernst@gmx.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the ascii package as I am hardly using it
anymore. The packaging is easy enough, so this will be easily suitable
for any newcomer, with maybe a first task of slavaging the old VCS
repository from anonscm.debian.org. However, there also isn't all too
much upstream activity either over the last years ...

The package description is:
 The ascii utility provides easy conversion between various byte representations
 and the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) character
 table.  It knows about a wide variety of hex, binary, octal, Teletype mnemonic,
 ISO/ECMA code point, slang names, XML entity names, and other representations.
 Given any one on the command line, it will try to display all others.  Called
 with no arguments it displays a handy small ASCII chart.
