### 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.

# End of transcript or log.
