+define Package/reptyr/description
+  reptyr is a utility for taking an existing running program and attaching it
+  to a new terminal. Started a long-running process over ssh, but have to
+  leave and don't want to interrupt it? Just start a screen, use reptyr to
+  grab it, and then kill the ssh session and head on home.
