Package: converseen
Version: 0.8.3-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Converseen is forcing the opening of a url [1] on user when started, without any consent or action of the said user. While I am all for supporting free opensource software authors and does my share whenever possible, I think this behavior is not acceptable as part of a Debian package.

This could also be regarded as a security risk as the webpage is inviting user to click on random banners and links, and could be redirected to armful content. It is also a problem when younger users (kids) end up browsing a random site online when given permission to use a local application.

Include a nag-screen on first launch if you must, a menu option to link to author website, but not this crapware Windows-like home phoning
stuff.

Cheers.
