Package: xcowsay
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: normal
I just installed xcowsay, and was delighted to see a "--daemon" mode
mentioned in the manpage, which purports to expose a D-Bus service at
uk.me.doof.Cowsay which you can instruct to ShowCow.
However, xcowsay was packaged without D-Bus support. I attach a patch
to enable it in the package.
