While a) and b) may well apply, I wholeheartedly veto against c). oFono has a completely different (non-holistic) concept
and is not a replacement for FSO (neither fsogsmd, which would be the component providing the correspondent functionality).

It would be great for FSO’s visibility to have Debian packages again. Like I said earlier, If i can easily fix something, please holler.

Cheers,
