Hi,
I wonder how this is going on.
I'm one who used it to serve a customer. And I heard
some people asking for it in debian for some time.
(Mostly, I pointed them to Bug #408258 to fetch
the source package and build it themselves.)
So, it would be nice to have it in official debian.

There's nothing in the social contract that compels anyone to include
any specific software in Debian if they are disinclined to do so. The

Hi Kevin,
You need to complete the debian/copyright a little more as it does
not even reference GPL v2, which it is. See the package tnef for an
example. A good habit is to run
licensecheck -r .
from the working directory on every package you work on.
I fixed the copyright file.
