Bug#797789: cyrus-imapd: should recommend package which enables cyradm to use command line history

[Gabriel Thornblad]

Package: cyrus-imapd
Version: 2.4.17+caldav~beta10-18
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

using the tool "cyradm" without command line history is very annoying.

Example:
$ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password:
$localhost> info
Server Wide:
  freespace: 43191140

<cursor up>
$localhost> ^[[A

By installing the package "libterm-readline-gnu-perl", command line
history IS available in cyradm and makes the life of a mailserver
administrator much easier.

Example:
$ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password:
$localhost> info
Server Wide:
  freespace: 43191140

<cursor up>
$localhost> info 

I suggest that cyrus-imapd should recommend the installation of
"libterm-readline-gnu-perl".
