Bug#1003130: x11-utils copy of luit was superseded by luit 2.0 in 2013.
Package: x11-utils
Version: 7.7+5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* x11-utils copy of luit was superseded by luit 2.0 in 2013.
* mentioned this several times to developers in X Strike Force
* developers did not reply to those comments
* developers could have suggested a way to address the issue
As a solution to that, I propose to create a new package "luit2",
and modify x11-utils to install its luit as "luit1", allowing the
alternatives feature to let users select an up-to-date luit.
The change to x11-utils is in bug #1003021.
This bug covers the new packaging for luit.
