Package: cowsay
Version: 3.03+dfsg1-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I work with a group that teaches kids how to program. For learning the
Linux command line, we wanted to throw in some fun commands in addition
to the standard ones. Introducing cowsay would be great except that
some of the included cow files (e.g., sodomized-sheep, etc.) will
certainly offend some parents. If nothing else, they'd distract from
the lesson.

Would it be possible to split the cowsay package into cowsay and
cowsay-off similar to what was done with fortunes-off? The idea being
that the base package just contains cow files appropriate for a class.
The offensive cow files don't need to be removed, but it would be nice
to avoid surprises from the benign-sounding cowsay program and package.
