Thanks for your report!

I am seriously concerned by the fake sense of security that such tool
provides (I must say that some other pam modules are scarry).
For instance, using vlock and libpam-alreadyloggedin on the same machine
provides the same level of security as a blank password, if not less.
Of course, if you take two arbitrary tools, you can always combine them
in a nonsensical way. Why should I care particularly about vlock?
I thought that Unix software is supposed to assume that users know what
they do.
As of 2009, where most people use either XWindow/ssh/screen, I see little
benefit using this tool (YMMV).
Most packages in Debian are used only by tiny minority of users. What is
wrong with that?
Please, add appropriate warning to this package description and README.
Feel free to propose wording, but I really think the current description
clearly describes what this software do.
BTW, It is recommended to submit an ITP bug before uploading a new
package in the archive, so other DDs can provide feed-back.
Why do you think I didn't submit one?
