Package: debtorrent
Version: 0.1.4.4
Followup-For: Bug #443242

absolutely fantastic idea - has scope _well_ beyond just doing debian
packages, can be used for distributed distribution and upgradeability of
massive archives of files of any type.

towards the end of /usr/bin/debtorrent-client there is a while 1: run()
call.

this is _exactly_ what viruses do, to avoid being killed off:
immediately exec a new child.

if there's a bug, and debtorrent-client crashes, tough titty: fix the bug.
