Sigh. gs-alladin is in non-free, so magicfilter can't use it.

It's OK to package it if you can get the license straight, but I think it
makes sense for us to base our system-management strategy on COAS (see

Hi,
just recently I installed gnuchess-book and gnuchess.
I used something like 'dpkg -i gnuchess-book_* gnuchess_*'.

Dale,
There are a number of bug reports in the archive that were automatically
generated by a program named "deb-check". Is this program still around?
I would like to look at it.

rxvt 2.4.5 was announced on New Year's Day. As the current hamm package of
rxvt is still 2.20, it would be great if the new version is available.
There have been many improvements; I notice the difference immediately
when I happen to use 2.20 instead of the 2.4.x versions.
