I find this package name in very poor taste, and think another name should be chosen. (I assume it's meant to be read as "web fucker" - I can't conceive of any other straightforward reading of the name, in English or German. Even if that's not the intent, that's certainly how it will be read by plenty of people.) There is precedent for naming software with the word "fuck" - 'apt-cache search fuck' turns up two packages related to the brainfuck language. I don't think that precedent should be an excuse. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
