Severity: wishlist
Control: block 1018949 by -1
To help with #1018949 (netkit-telnet: Drop in favour of netkit-telnet-ssl),
please suggest to install telnet[d]-ssl in the telnet[d] descriptions
instead of the lately introduced packages.
This can prevent introducing the new netkit-telnet[d] packages in bookworm.
They are unnecessary and duplicate code in the archive.
I have included a patch that applies on the current main branch.

Subject: Mention the netkit ssl-enabled packages
To help with #1018949 (netkit-telnet: Drop in favour of netkit-telnet-ssl),
suggest to install telnet[d]-ssl in the telnet[d] descriptions.
This prevents introducing the new netkit-telnet[d] packages in bookworm.
They are unnecessary and duplicate code in the archive.
