Hi tails folks--

in tails 1.0~rc1, i see that you've got the monkeysign package
installed, but no python-zbar or python-zbargtk.

This means that monkeyscan (the tool that uses the webcam to scan
barcodes) doesn't work properly. launching it from the terminal shows:

some modules missing for scanning functionality: No module named zbar

These are Recommends: and not Depends:, so maybe that's OK -- monkeysign
provides command-line-like functionality on its own, and monkeyscan has
a major UI overhaul designed but not funded or scheduled :/ so maybe
you want to leave it that way. but if you want to enable monkeyscan,
some of the Recommends: will need to be installed as well.
