Package: vpnc
Severity: normal

Hi Florian, I want to get this done before the upcoming freeze and I
want to have a public record of our discussion.

We've been talking about splitting vpnc-script from vpnc for a few
weeks now but no concrete plans yet.  This could be done from your
vpnc source package or as a new package based on
http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/vpnc-scripts.git .  I have looked
at both options.  The advantage of building from the vpnc source
package is momentum, the script is already there, but the downside is
you need to manually patch and sync changes from dwmw2.  The advantage
of using the git repo is it is more up to date, but it will have to go
through new package approval.

I am leaning towards the second option because the script you include
is already heavily patched, this approach will more accurately capture
the script's origin and make it more clear that it is independent of
either VPN.  I have already started working on packaging dwmw2's git
repo.  I am perfectly willing to take this on if you are ok with this.
 Let me know if you agree.

Thanks.
