I agree, this should replace zpaq. In fact Franco Corbelli asked me about
this quite a while ago but I never looked into it in detail, sorry about that!

Franco, if you need help getting this into Debian, feel free to ping me, I’d
be happy to review and sponsor your package, or help you package zpaqfranz if
appropriate.

Regards,

Stephen
