 +    * Perhaps the canonical place talking about ''cowsay'' and how to turn it off.
 +    * At one point, it references ''mkpasswd'' -- this, on Debian, seems to be part of the ''whois'' package... O_o (For historical reasons.)\\ For me (canvon), at the time of writing (2022-10-10), seems quite as odd as "hundreds"(?) of Debian packages depending on library ''com_err'' built from the ''e2fsprogs'' sources. ...
