Package: kbd
Version: 2.0.3-2
Severity: normal
Upstream kbd provides a vlock binary but it's not included in the
Debian package. Looking from Debian's changelog it's like that since
february 2013.
I know that Debian already provides a separate vlock package (i use
it), but it was last updated in 2014, it is currently orphaned and
upstream source looks unreacheable (#833843).
In light of this, i wonder if the kbd's vlock inclusion could be
reconsidered. I don't know if it could be taken as an entire substitute
for the vlock package.
Looks like Opensuse, Gentoo and Ubuntu still carry a vlock package from
the same source as Debian, while Fedora and Archlinux don't have it in
their repository and use the one provided with kbd.
Cesare.
