The transitional vrms package only ships a link to /usr/bin/check-dfsg-status. As Lars Wirzenius wrote in https://blog.liw.fi/posts/2021/03/29/the_leadership_problem_for_free_software/ "We don’t need leaders with power, or with authority. We need thought leaders, who can persuade and convince people to do right things, and people who set good examples. We need many of them." Gunnar Wolf wrote in http://gwolf.org/2021/03/regarding-the-stallman-comeback.html "Again, the free software movement –and the world as a whole– owes a great deal to Stallman. He changed history. I admire his work, his persistence and his stubbornness. But I won’t have him represent me." And additionally I agree with Ivo de Decker in #962696 that the Debian DFSG compliancy checker should be not be called vrms, especially if that's not what it is/does as pointed out in #537941. * Update standards version to 4.6.1, no changes needed.
