  Description     : SavvyCAN is a CAN bus reverse engineering and capture tool

SavvyCAN is an open-source, cross-platform tool designed for capturing,
analyzing, reverse-engineering and transmitting Controller Area Network
(CAN) bus data. It provides a graphical user interface (using Qt
libraries) for inspecting CAN bus messages, interpreting proprietary
protocols and replaying recorded data.

SavvyCAN supports multiple CAN hardware interfaces, mainly SocketCAN
based, using Qt libraries. It is particularly useful for analyzing
traffic from vehicles, industrial automation systems and other embedded
systems utilizing CAN communication.

It is a valuable tool for automotive diagnostics, embedded system
development and security research and belongs in Debian.

I will maintain the tool under the Debian Electronics team, as I believe
it is a perfect fit there. But please let me know if there are
objections or somewhere better for it to fit.
