I've been thinking about this package for a while (you may have come
across my somewhat neglected PPA thinkfinger package), and I'd like to
point out that upstream has effectively died. I think the wiki
statement that "upstream believes thinkfinger is complete" is
inaccurate. Perhaps "upstream thinks thinkfinger's design is terrible
and has decided to restart from nearly scratch with fprint". Last I
knew, there were bugs and quirks in the upstream version that made the
system unpleasant, and the Debian maintainer was against fixing quirks
caused by gksudo. I shall try Scott's packages and see how they fare.
