Hi Lior!
Well, the idea behind a wordplay is to vary a familiar word with a humorous
twist. I like that! :-)
Actually i'm not the first and only package maintainer using this word. Try
"grep -i15 automagic /var/lib/dpkg/available | grep ^Package" to identify the
package of the other jesters.
Cheers, P. *8^)
