Bug Description
OpenCOBOL was renamed to GnuCOBOL in the progress of moving to GNU.
People often use `apt-get install gnu-cobol` and wonder why there is no such a package. Additional the version that `apt-get install open-cobol` installs is outdated (It is OpenCOBOL 1.1 from Feb 2009 [which is misleadingly marked as unstable]). The most current release from GnuCOBOL can always be be found at http://
Please mark the package containing gnu-cobol-1.1 as stable as it is used in production and has no stability problems in.
Thank you for your response,
