like to maintain a package for a new distribution, please mail me at
<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">rgerhards@adiscon.com</a>. Any help is *deeply*
appreciated. While I create the core daemon, the package maintainers are really
filling it with life, making it available to the average user. I am very
grateful for that!</p>

-(which honestly is quite easy).</p>

+should consider that.
