Yes, but this doesn't seem like a high priority issue that is worthy of an
upload on its own, but rather a tweak.

Yes, that could be an idea. However, as time passes, the question whether
ctn should remain to be packaged gets stronger. There's the following
trouble:

- Upstream is essentially dead for 4 years now;
- CTN only works with MySQL servers <= which are getting obsolete really
fast, and haven't been in Debian for subsequent releases.

I'm considering removal rather than moving it into the Debian-Med group
maintenance, as I think the time of debian-med is a lot better spent on
software that is being maintained and not suffering from extensive bit
rot.

What do you think?

Thijs
