[mosh-devel] Fwd: Bug#663291: please split package into server and client packages

[Karl Ramm]

I think it adds needless complexity, especially since the client and server
seem to be linked with all the same stuff and so would have the same
dependencies, and the effort is not worth saving 300k of installed disk
space for people who have the rm command available.

I for one would be tempted out of sheer perversity at this point to merge
them into one binary.

(Also, Keith, are you referring to #662939 there as the other bug?  That's
more of a fine point about dependencies and the multiplicity of ssh
implementations in debian..)
