 Unfortunately, ttyd/termnetd doesn't have any upstream anymore.  The
 default Debian kernel doesn't set CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS anymore, and I
 only got one private report about it.  On the ttyd/termnetd front, I
 think it's fair to move on and disable the config option, there doesn't
 seem to be a load of users.  It will make it more obvious that this
 package needs some new upstream to adopt it, or a replacement.
