Bug#699150: RFS: begin/0.1.1-1 (ITP #699113)

Hi Mikael,
As I mentioned in #debian-mentors yesterday, I find it difficult to justify
a Debian package for a tool that could be replaced by existing tools like
"awk /foo/,EOF" much less a package and binary name that are so generic. We
try to avoid generic program names in the $PATH namespace (like "node", for
instance...).
I realise that you've done a lot of work learning how to package this and
you'd like to see your work included in Debian. Perhaps I could encourage
you to contribute to existing packaging teams where you can see packages
already in (hopefully) good shape from which you can learn. Working within a
team can also help you be more productive in a shorter time. If you're not
sure where to look for teams that want help, the "rc-alert" or "wnpp-alert"
commands can give you a list of packages and bugs that pertain to what is
installed on your system.
cheers
Stuart
