Hi Mike,

iTALC consisted of lots of legacy code which was not maintainable any
longer. For Veyon most of the internal core as well as the master
application have been rewritten to follow a clean and modular
(plugin-based) architecture. Thanks to the rewrite Veyon is much
cleaner, more performant and stable than iTALC. In order to reflect
the big changes I decided to give it a new name, especially since I
was not happy with "iTALC" any longer (which was also leading to wrong
associations with Apple products).

I don't have a Debian folder. You can start with the iTALC packaging
scheme even though we have new things such as plugins and the command
line utility. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
