Thank you Antoine, much appreciated!

Deadgrep would be my second choice (and is the second most popular on
MELPA), but also looks excellent :-)  Micah, I've CCed you since Antoine
mentioned you use Deadgrep, and because I'd be happy to answer any
questions you have about the process of debianising it.  I'm on holidays
so am working on this RFP in 30min sprints with a fairly scientific
method.  If you think the process might be interesting content for
Debian Planet, please let me know :-)

I can update this bug with my rationale (from IRC) if you think it would
be useful to others.  P.S. I'm also curious if you'll end up enjoying
rg.el, or if you'll find it too fancy new school thing ;-)

Cheers,
Nicholas
