Bug#324512: gnome-applets: Modemlights gone, replaced with "Modem Monitor"; update possible for debian/control file

[Sean Champ]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.10.1-5
Severity: wishlist


Hello,

After what was the most recent upgrade of my local installation of
gnome-applets, it appears that the nice modemlights applet has been removed.
it's been replaced with a little "Modem Monitor' applet.

So, I ran a search across debian packages, to see if there might be a
seprate modemlights package available. As it is, there was not, but this
served to bring a small matter to attention.

I noticed that the gnome-applets package description, from the
package's debian/control file, it still contains an entry mentioning
modemlights. I thought I should mention that modemlights is, apparently, no
more existing in gnome-applets.

I find that the change of applets is unfortunate. I thought that this
minor matter of the package control file would bear mentioning, however.

Thank you.
