  Description     : legacy bacula file daemon

 Bacula is a set of programs to manage backup, recovery, and
 verification of data across a network of computers of different kinds.
 .
 The file daemon has to be installed on the machine to be backed
 up. It is responsible for providing the file attributes and data when
 requested by the Director, and also for the file system-dependent part
 of restoration.
 .
 This package is intended for machines running a debian release with a
 newer bacula version than the director is running. Once the
 bacula-director has been upgraded, this package should be replaced by
 the regular bacula-fd.

Bacula directors 5.x and bacula file daemons 7.x aren't compatible, so
this package is intended for backup clients on sites where the
backup-server is running an older debian release than the client, or
don't want to use eventual backported newer bacula packages. An example
would be that a system running testing or unstable should be backed up

This is to address concerns raised in bugs #805306 and #806205.
