Package: xterm
Version: 210-3
Severity: normal

It's a little awkward to supply program:

  resize

with the xterm package because this program is useful on its own. The
xterm is not a good terminal for low end PCs, where rxvt and mini-rxvt
provide same features with much less memory. However the need for
single program resize is still there for other terminal.

REASONING

It is inconvenient to have to install package 'xterm' just to use
program 'resize'. I assume here that resize does not depend on program
'xterm' in any way.

Also searching for program 'resize' is very hard if you don't know
where it is. If resize were its own package this would also make
program searches intuitive
