+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I have been packaging bencode as a dependency for git-annex on Debian.
+
+I contacted the upstream authors in reference to getting some licensing issues fixed and they pointed me to a package called "AttoBencode" which
+might be a more recent and maintained option for bencode parsing in Git Annex.
+
+http://hackage.haskell.org/package/AttoBencode
+
+This isn't actually a bug, I just thought this would be a good place to bring this up.
+
+For what it's worth, I like the idea that packages can become stable (or old) and still serve their purpose so if bencode works just fine I think that's great.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.

+# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
