Let's wait a bit for Fred Klassen (tcpreplay upstream) who is subscribed
here if I remember correctly. Perhaps tcpreplay will just go a
completely different direction to replace autogen.

About Debian, I personally don't quite like the idea of using git
submodules for a Debian package, they are just another form of a code
copy. Otherwise, how big is this autogen story? I counted 15 build
dependencies on autogen so I would have expected some mass bug-filing.
For example, is there a specific reason the complexity package did not
get such a bug report? This would help assessing whether it was worth
packaging cligen. Although in my opinion it was worth if even just one
package can benefit from it. From two on, I'd strongly recommend it.

Still, thanks for the heads-up. For the time being however there is no
need to force a solution.
