For symmetry you might want to call the dependency you describe

And protects it
Hi guys!!
IANAL && IANADD, but, AFAICU,
this relates much more to Linda/Lintian && devscripts
then to apt. (See points #12 and #13)
In this case, i think that yes, debian and other distros
can prove this patent invalid.
But again i repeat, IANAL.

Hi,
Suppose you'd like to generate a random pass by default after your
daemon is installed. How should you get that pass to the user?
Is it allowed to write it to a file in root's home dir?

No, as far as I understand it means the patent isn't valid.
