  Description     : Utility that allows users to request their sysadmin to install some package

apt-wishlist allows users without access to root to request some package to be
installed on the system in a very easy way, by just listing the wished packages
as command line arguments. The script filters the invalid entries out and then
the request is sent by mail in a format that eases automatic processing.

Could you explain why a single, trivial script should have its own
package in the archive?

Hi,
Mainly because I thought it can be useful for users without root access to
ask for a package to be installed. It certainly is trivial (I won't deny
that), but AFAIK there's nothing like this in the archive (if there is,
please tell me so).
Of course, I can understand this may not be "big" enough for its own
package. If so, no problem and thanks for your review.
Cheers and keep up the great work!

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging apt-wishlist. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of apt-wishlist from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging apt-wishlist, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 720123 ITP: apt-wishlist -- Utility that allows users to request their sysadmin to install some package
 owner 720123 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <720123@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
