  Description     : Server and Clients for the BoxBackup remote backup system

I'm currently using boxbackup for my private use. I've crafted packages
for my own used based on the ones from Jérôme Schell, I needed to apply
one patch from upstream though. I'd like to see boxbackup in debian, so
I'm filing this ITP. Help with this package is highly appreciated.

I'm CC'ing Jérôme Schell and Jesus Climent with this email, as they both
have expressed interest in the boxbackup packages. I'm CC'ing the
boxbackup devel mailing list as well, perhaps there are even more people
interested in seeing boxbackup in debian. If someone feels interested in
Comaintaining this package, please contact me.

The debian/control file currently looks like this:
