Package: gipsc
Severity: normal

gipsc has a completly classful view on IP addressing. This way of
addressing is not in practical use any more since somewhere in the
first half of the 1990's. This is confusing to newbies and makes them
learn a lot of irrelevant cruft.

Please document this in the package description to keep newbies from
thinking that this program's output is relevant on today's internet.
IMO, this package should be removed from Debian because it outputs a
lot of misleading and irrelevant information.
