Package: gkermit Version: 1.0-10 Followup-For: Bug #701604 This bug should probably be merged with 732938.
> The package description for gkermit needs some routine maintenance. This is gradually rising from the level of "routine", but not enough to change the severity quite yet. >> [...] The non-free package ckermit adds connection >> establishment, character-set translation and scripting features. ckermit no longer even exists in stable/testing/unstable, so there's no point comparing the two in this package description; my patch needs a rewrite. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package
