Package: devscripts Version: 2.23.7 Currently devscripts contains package 'dget' [1] for downloading Debian binary/source packages.
Everything it does can be done using apt-get. The man page itself explicitly says 'dget package should be implemented in apt-get install -d.', which it kind of today is as you can run 'apt-get download' to download the binary packages of anything, and no root permissions are required. Thus the tools dget is obsolete, and should be removed, or replace with a minimal bash script that simply states 'This tool is deprecated. Please use "apt-get download" or "apt-get source".'
