Dear maintainer,

I've prepared an NMU for rungetty (versioned as 1.2-16.3) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/5. Please feel free to tell me if I
should delay it longer.



Regards.

  Package: rungetty

This package can probably come truly rootless if the upstream makefile could be convinced to not pass `-o root -g root` to `install`. A common trick here is to use `-o $(USER) -g $(GROUP)` and then have the Debian package substitute USER/GROUP with `id -u`/`id -g` (which is a noop but allowed) and then rely on `dh_fixperms` + `dh_builddeb` to build the package with the correct ownership. However, it is was not a minimal patch, so I skipped that for the NMU.
