Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

totd has several RC bugs:
  #672542, #67253
and additionally a number of important bugs.  The RC bugs are
serious, it intentionally and inappropriately rewriting its
own configuration with complete loss of the admin's
configuration, and it also completely breaks networking on
the system in addition.

This package is redundant.  It's primary function is DNS64
by rewriting forward and reverse lookups by replacing IPv4
names with mapped IPv6 addresses (for NAT64).  This is now
implemented natively in bind9 with a one line addition to its
configuration file, making totd redundant.

Given the lack of maintainer response, serious RC bugs and
that much better replacements exist, I would like to request
removal from Debian.  It's not of release quality by any means.
It could be fixed with an NMU, but it's far better just to
switch to using bind9.


Regards,
Roger
