  Description     : A simple keyboard debouncer with FlashTap emulation
Debounced is a small background daemon designed to allow the user
to perform userspace debouncing of their keyboard of choice, with a
variable timeout, as well as the ability to emulate FlashTap-like behavior
on either the A/D key pair, the left/right arrow key pair, or both pairs.

I built this program to use for myself because nobody else has made a
keyboard debounce utility that actually works for me, let alone in more
generic cases (like built-in laptop keyboards and the like).

I would love to have this packaged in Debian, as I have a feeling that
many people would greatly appreciate having a proper keystroke
debouncing utility that works for nearly all modern keyboards.


I plan to create a debian branch on the repository linked that
specifically handles the different paths used in real Debian packages.
Currently, the base repo uses /usr/local/bin for binaries, but the .deb
release already follows the convention of using /usr/bin for binaries.
