thanks

I've read the discussion that happened after the message to -done and I'm at
a loss for words - this kind of a decision would go against the BCP of some
twenty years of Debian packaging.

Yes, it's common to set up a network service in a way that only localhost
will access it. No, that doesn't conflict with the idea that server software
goes into server software packages and client software goes into client
software packages.

Honestly it's really hard to comment further in a way that wouldn't be
considered toxic... does nobody remember the old netbase package?
Why do we have to do argue this all over again in 2017?
