Bug#835533: dasher: Please package Dasher 5.0 beta

[intrigeri at debian.org]

Source: dasher
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I've been looking at the state of dasher in Debian, since we are
shipping it in Tails 2.x (Jessie), but it's been removed from testing
so there are chances that it does not make it into Tails 3.x
(Stretch).

I could find no Free Software alternative to dasher.

Thankfully, upstream announced 5.0 beta a few months ago:
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/WhatsNew.html

This is great news: it means that the software is not abandoned
upstream, contrary to what I was starting to believe :)

Perhaps it would fix the RC bug that got the package removed
from testing?

Cheers,
