It's not included in upstream and I'm not in favor of adding it through
Debian patches.

If you'd like it included then I would strongly encourage you to
convince upstream to include it.  Debian packaging isn't the appropriate
place to have utilities be added unless they're used by the packaging or
very simple (and sometimes not even then).

	Thanks,
