Package: nethack-console
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

About 23 years ago I suggested a package for Nethack that needed no X11 libs,
and I suggested nethack-console as a name.  Is there a Debian precedent for
this type of package name?  Maybe nethack-tty or nethack-nox are better names?
I've irritated a generation of Nethack users with my poor name.
