Hi,
We (Audacious package maintainers) would like to provide a transitional
package for beep-media-player, since it is now removed in Lenny. We feel
that audacious is a sufficient replacement for BMP, as it's BMP's
logical successor. BMPx is not a good choice for a transitional package,

Hi,
demac has some bugs with v3.97 format files. I would recommend merging

Hi,
I am writing a syslog daemon called dsyslog. Why you ask? Because none
of the other syslogd's were designed in the way that I would like, so I
figured I would do it myself.

Hi,
There's a lot of packages in Debian which do the same basic thing, but
slightly differently. Having an Alternatives: field would be nice for
listing alternative packages which package maintainers may find useful
to try if the user does not like how the package they are installing
behaves.
