Scratch that, I think now that I vaguely remember that webmin *wasn't*
available via the normal Debian repositories. But it was so flipping
simple to just download the .deb package from webmin.com and install
that, that I forgot I had to go there to get it. :-) And, of course,
once it's installed in the system, of *course* aptitude is going to list
it on a "show" command.... <grin>
So it might not be in the Debian repositories (to which I have to find
myself asking the question, "Why on Earth would the maintainers not keep
such a valuable package available?"), but it's dirt easy to grab a .deb
package and install it.
