** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: isdnutils
  
- Unfortunately, activity in ISDN related packages is slow to put it
- mildly.  Debian upstream seems to be missing for about three years now.
- I'd like to suggest to replace the capi20 directory in the source code
- with the new work done by Jan-Michael Brummer.  He modularized the code
- and added a few features.  The code is backward compatible and necessary
- for new applications like ffgtk.  Code development is supported by the
- AVM company, a reputable German hardware manufacturer very active behind
- ISDN related code development in Linux.

  The isdn4utils project has already accepted the code, the old capi20
  code is stale.  The code has also been shipping in OpenSuse for a few
  months.  Jan-Michael tells me there very few errors reported and they
  were all minor, related to compilation issues. I've made a package in my
  PPA which can serve as a test ground.  It demonstrates the changes I am
  requesting here.  Let us know if there are any questions or things that
  need consideration and discussion.
  
  We're also pushing for a new upstream release, but given the slow nature
  of development it's not clear when that can actually happen.
