Package: cyrus-admin-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-10
Severity: wishlist

One cannot use GNU/Readline facilities while using cyradm, therefore
being unable to recall previous commands or using the keyboard editing
keys (cursor keys, insert, delete, home, end, etc.).

The manpage states that cyradm will use Term::ReadLine::Perl and
Term::ReadLine::GNU if available.

This would be easily fixed if cyrus-admin-2.2 depended on both
libterm-readline-perl-perl and libterm-readline-gnu-perl, or at least
recommended them.
