Package: dumputils
Version: 0.4-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

since a few days dumputils is in unstable and now even in testing, too.
I was quite confused because dumputils conflicts lkcdutils, but finally
I belive to have found out you are trying to replace lkcdutils with
dumputils. Perhaps you could point this out more clearly somewhere.
Anyways, I finally screw up my courage, purged lkcdutils and installed
dumputils.
First of all: dumputils works with 2.4.27 which lkcdutils never did -
very well :)

However, there are some misleading points currently:
* kernel-patch-lkcd recommends lkcdutils
Since dumputils conflicts lkcdutils but does not provide it, this
recommendation cannot be fulfilled at all currently, if one decides
to install dumputils.

* lkcdutils provides lots more than just the lkcd binary.
While dumputils does only provide configdump and savedump, which are
replacements for the lkcd binary, if I understand this right, lkcdutils
does also provide lcrash which I would really like to have even with
dumputils installed and it further provides lots of useful
documentation, i.e. the lkcd tutorial and some READMEs.

Would it be possible to split up lkcdutils to some more packages like
lkcdutils, lkcd-doc, lcrash, lcrash-doc? This way you could keep the
`dumputils conflicts lkcdutils' while the extra stuff could be used,
no matter which of dumputils and lkcdutils is installed.


Thanks for your work & regards
   Mario
