I think a lot of people think that ant is still in contrib - they are
right to with the naming of these packages. wouldn't it be better to
have ant package in main and ant-extra in contrib?
Most people don't look at packages starting with lib when they're
looking for a program.=20

Also, it would be good if the descriptions could be updated to show what
the difference is between the two packages and for ant to suggest
libant1.5 perhaps?
