 This seems to be a misnomer.  The documentation makes it clear that it's
 based on Russian roulette, not on roulette the casino game;

That's a minor issue, are we sure the case when it shoots itself has
been fully tested?

That's easy, this isn't a package, so cannot be removed by dak.

 This seems to be a misnomer.  The documentation makes it clear that it's
 based on Russian roulette, not on roulette the casino game; dak-roulette
 is as a result misleading, we should find a better name for this.
 
 How about dak-svidanya?

More to the point, this far into freeze such packages should only ever
be uploaded to the existential repository.
