Thank you for reply!  Looking at that repository, it seems clear that
'bingo' is an internal implementation name, and the upstream project is
called 'indigo' and I agree it feels unlikely that bingo/ will ever
provide a /usr/bin/bingo binary.  Still, if that where to happen, we can
solve that later...  I'll proceed with the upload after newgateway
review.
