Package: xbase-clients Version: 1:7.1.ds-3 Severity: wishlist Justification: not worth delaying etch for xbase-clients contains xhost, which in the modern world (after 1995, when ssh was first released) is rarely the right tool, but it is so easy that the Internet is full of advice to use "xhost +" to allow X programs to use a remote server. It would be nice if Debian would move xhost to a separate package, not installed by default (priority extra, not depended-on by anything, not part of a task). Since xhost is occasionally useful for people who do understand what they're doing, the xbase-clients package could then contain a little script like this: #!/bin/sh echo xhost is rarely useful, please use "ssh -X" or xauth instead. echo See /usr/share/doc/xbase-clients/README.xhost for information. That script and the real xhost binary could then be alternatives, so that installing the xhost package would make xhost magically work. -- Close your mind to stress and pain, hack till you're no longer sane.

This bug has been marked as "wontfix" for a while, and I don't think it is worth keeping it open. So as part of cleaning the BTS, I am just closing it. Cheers Brice
