=====

Calibre, already in Debian, does provide a "calibre-server" but the
functionality provided by calibre-web is much broader. It's also a
different codebase, specifically designed to run as a web service
(while calibre-server was somewhat "tacked on" later on).

Would be great if some other python maintainer took a look at it, as I
have very little free time nowadays, but since I'm looking at moving
away from Calibre for some things (especially exposed to the network),
I may look into this eventually.
