I am both upstream and Debian maintainer of this program.

This daemon was used primarily for connecting subnets of network 44 a couple 
decades ago.  The Linux tun driver largely obsoleted the need for this daemon,
and I haven't personally used it in over a decade.  Reviewing the changelog, 
the last substantive work on this code was in late 1998.  I suspect it still
"works", but updating the ancient sources to compile with gcc 15 doesn't seem
work the effort to me.

I think it's time to admit we don't need this in Debian any more.

Regards,

Bdale
