Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the wvdial package. The package has been removed from testing because wvstreams is RC-buggy due to the its dependency on libssl1.0.2. The whole story is in #901361 [0]. The persons that intends to adopt wvdial should also look after wvstreams. wvdial is the only reverse dependency of wvdial. I will request the removal of wvdial (including wvstreams) in one month time if nobody adopts it.
The package description is: WvDial sacrifices some of the flexibility of programs like "chat" in order to make dialup configuration easier. With WvDial, modems are detected automatically and only three additional parameters are required: the telephone number, username, and password. WvDial knows enough to dial with most modems and log in to most servers without any other help. . [0] https://bugs.debian.org/901361 Sebastian
