Hello?

Anybody?


Apparently some distros have split off the package into parts like
fortune   - the program with no data
fortune-min  - the quotes
fortune-off   - the stuff that'd make a sailor blush

fortune-mod-boh
fortune-mod-homer
fortune-mod-bible-1.0

I'd of course prefer the following packaging:
fortune
fortune-min
fortune-mod-bible-1.0

But  not just because it would be amusing to see the half of the unoffended
suddenly start squealing about pulling it or encrypting it.
