[Bug 324775] [NEW] please drop this package

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

Public bug reported:

ubuntu still includes a software called "etoken".
that software is buggy, does not work properly (or at all?) and
trying to use it can damage your hardware.

so please be so kind and remove it?

I'm the author of it, and I replaced it with some new open source project
about 7 years ago, and even that one got replaced many years ago
with another open source project: openct. part of ubuntu for ages and
working well.

For reference: in ubuntu the source is called "etoken", the binary
is called "libetoken", and the upstream web page is
        http://etoken.sourceforge.net/

I contacted debian as well, and still hope they will remove the package
before lenny is final. the debian maintainer wrote back to me:
I've asked ftp masters to remove the package and have opened a bug to the
package (RC) so that it gets removed by release managers from the release.

so please get this broken, untested, not working, hardware damaging software
out of ubuntu before jaunty is released.

Thanks, Andreas
