Ok. Thanks for that.

I claimed tightvnc in dla-needed.txt. As you are the maintainer, let  
me know if you want to pick that one up instead (I am happy to include  
it in my fix upload series, if not).

My plan is to go over VNC related packages over the next couple of  
days and also propose .debdiffs for stretch versions.

Thanks,
Mike
