Its not entirely redundant.  I like it because it has the most option
of any of the usual programs that people use, and because it's written
in perl, so it's easy to transfer to other systems and platforms.  I
often forget which of pwgen and mkpasswd has the option I want, so
I'll just use makepasswd for simplicity.  

BTW: Colin, if you decide that you don't want to adopt this one, I'd
     be happy to take it as well.  I use it quite a bit and it looked
     like a nice simple package to have as my first debian package.
