Hi,

today the package auto-install-el was a candidate for the bug of the day[1].

I noticed that bug #974720 looks easy to fix, but I'm wondering whether
this package is still needed in Debian today.  This is an honest
question - if the answer is yes, I'd be happy to help fix the bug and
possibly migrate the package to Salsa for easier maintenance.  I just
want to make sure my time is well spent, so I'd like to hear others'
opinions first.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
