You're not the only one that's wished for this. I usually find myself going to freshmeat for the answers. But that can be a bit of a hassle, especially when the program in question isn't *on* freshmeat. So I'd like to cast my request with yours - if anyone from the Debian folks are reading this, could this function be added? Or at the very least considered for addition?
