People, The fact that there even exist two debian versions of mutt should tell you that it was an issue for people. Looking through the changelogs, I see that mutt was moved to non-US in Feb. 1997:
mutt (0.61.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. * Now non-US. (Bug #7257) -- J.H.M. Dassen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 11 Feb 1997 14:15:27 +0100 Has anything changed since then, or do we have a too short collective memory? -- The idea is that the first face shown to people is one they can readily accept - a more traditional logo. The lunacy element is only revealed subsequently, via the LunaDude. [excerpted from the Lunatech Identity Manual]
