Current solution: We build each of these from small independent source trees: gettime, cxref, dent, hostinfo, just, saferm, syncupdate, jot, lam, and rs. jot, lam, and rs are imports from NetBSD (they live in third/) while the others are treated as original source code.

Planned solution: Ensure that the native enscript and psutils packages are installed; that gets us enscript and psnup, the most commonly used utilities. A new package debathena-transcript-glue will install attach-and-run scripts for the remaining commands.
Status: Glue packages still need to be done.Milestone: Preview for enscript and psnup; Feature Complete for other transcript glue. (One day.)Done.

Planned solution: Ensure that the native ntp and ntpdate packages are installed. A new package debathena-ntp-config will configure ntp to synchronize the time actively against time.mit.edu.

Status: Configuration is done; gettime is not yet packaged.
Status: DoneMilestone: Basic (two hours).
