Well, I had it coming.

A few information about cookietool itself: it's basically a closed
project (hence no uploads during the last four years).

It's a simple, yet quite powerful utility for management of the cookies
(fortunes) database. I'm still using it.

Regarding my MIA-ness state; the last two years were a little bit
troublesome for me, but I'm just going back on tracks, as I have
converted my CVS repositories into more usable SVN/SVK ones.

So, I think that there's no need to remove the cookietool package just now.
I can (and will) still take care about it.

Expect a new upload (with NMU acknowledged etc.) in a week. (And another
packages following in next two weeks.)

Kind regards
Miroslaw Baran
