I though wonder if should be packaged separately. Despite it is not mentioned in the release notes, AFAIK the capability to be used as serial terminal has been removed as well and for many this is a deal breaker. I also already received requests to patch Screen 5.0.0 to include the nethack feature again... So I currently see this possibilities: 1. Ignore these feature removals, move forward and package Screen 5.0.0 as "screen". 2. Rename "screen" to "screen4" and package Screen 5.0.0 as "screen". 3. Package Screen 5.0.0 as "screen5". (2. and 3. are nevertheless only feasible in the long run if upstream at least continues to provide security features for their screen-v4 branch for a while.) Will check if serial support really has been removed—as I would have expected it to be included in the release notes. If it's still there, chances are very high that I'll go with option #1.
