Package: suck
Version: 4.3.2-7
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The copyright file for suck refers to sucknews.org for
further information, but the domain has obviously been
acquired by a domain parking service, now containing mainly
sex links (since about 2007, with the page being offline
since at least 2003).

Perhaps the paragraph referring to sucknews.org should
be removed.

Furthermore, "suck" has been replaced by "Small newsfeed from
an NNTP server with standard NNTP commands." in the copyright
file, leading to strange punctuation. That could be fixed, too.

Patch attached.
