Package: netsurf-fb
Version: 3.6-3.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

netsurf-fb comes without any documentation on how to get it working.

I had to figure out by myself that I was supposed to add my user to the input
group.

After this, it was complaining about fb initialisation. Searching, I found this
page:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/817937/how-to-run-netsurf-fb-fails-with-unable-to-set-video-could-not-set-console-s

But the 3rd solution did not work and my screen just gets completely black and
I need to hard reset the machine.

Fix these issues, or at least document how to make this thing work, add the
necessary dependencies, or remove this package.

Best
