Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mehdi Dogguy <mehdi@debian.org>

* Package name : ben
Version : 0.6
Upstream Author : Mehdi Dogguy and Stéphane Glondu
* URL : http://ben.debian.net/
* License : AGPL-3+
Programming Lang: C, OCaml
Description : toolbox for Debian maintainers

This is a collection of useful tools that Debian maintainers can use
to make their packaging work easier. They all work with regular
Debian package list files, and should be useful for Debian
derivatives as well. This package ships a single executable, "ben",
with the following subcommands:
* download: download a set of package list files from a mirror
* monitor: monitor the status of a set of packages across several
architectures (useful for transitions)
* query: query packages using their metadata (similar to grep-dctrl,
but uses a dedicated query language)
* tracker: frontend to multiple monitors

What does ben stand for? Is this just a short name for me? ;)

Would it be useful to have ben in devscripts instead of a separate
package?
