Package: screen
Version: 4.1.0-20101110git066b098
Severity: wishlist

The screen developers have been working on new features for screen for a 
while, though an official release keeps getting put off.

I noticed the other day that Fedora 15 is shipping with a git 
snapshotted version of screen, which seems to work fairly well.  
Included in it are increased MAXWIN sizes, the ability to group windows 
and search for them in the window list by name, as well as many other 
very helpful features.

Attached (shortly) is a first crack attempt at packaging that version 
for Debian.  I went through the slew of Debian patches and kept/fixed 
the ones that worked and still looked to be needed, and weeded out the 
ones that have been applied upstream.

Please consider including support for it.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks,
Brian
