I'm still wondering if a new ThinkFinger package is worth it and ATM I'm in favor of it because: - it solves the ssh issue - I like to be "complete" ;-) - we're anyway talking about experimental, where things can break - even if ThinkFinger will never enter unstable, I'd prefer a migration path to fprint, thus a new ThinkFinger dummy package should be anyway uploaded >> However, since Timo advised of a new (and last) release, I'd prefer >> to wait to package the new release instead.

Anyway, I'll ping upstream for a new release.
