Package: dict-jargon
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

There is three source packages in Debian, that contain Jargon File

 * `dict-jargon' (v4.4.7)
 * `jargon-text' (v4.4.7) -- orphaned
 * `jargon' (v4.0.0) -- out-of-date, as written in description

Hereby I propose to combine functionality of those packages in single
source package, probably yours `dict-jargon', as most actively
maintained.

It would mean to

 * copy Makefile from `jargon-text' to generate HTML and plain text
   formats
 * apply patch for `jargon-text' to additionally generate fortunes file.
 * invent a way to convert source xml into GNU Info format, to
   supersede `jargon' package.

After that we could RM src:jargon-text and src:jargon. If you agree, I
volonteer to prepare patch.
