It's funny that you quote only the first sentence of that paragraph, the
full paragraph is:
Monkeysign is the commandline signing software, a caff
replacement. Monkeyscan is the graphical user interface that scans
qrcodes.
So Monkeysign is the caff replacement, and monkeyscan is the GUI.

satisfactory.

Again, I felt that the last paragraph did exactly that.

That seems like a completely different issue...
python-zbar and python-zbarpygtk and both in Recommends - are they
