[Sebastien Bacher]

Reopening the MIR for xclip, it got demoted some cycles ago but made it
way back on component mismatch as a recommends of python-pyperclip (or
to be more precise the recommends had a list of option, the gtk backend
was our preferred one but got removed upstream now and we want to
promote xclip as a newest best alternative)

** Changed in: xclip (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => New

** Changed in: xclip (Ubuntu)

  [Background]
  xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any system with an
  X11 implementation. It provides an interface to X selections ("the clipboard")
  from the command line. It can read data from standard in or a file and place it
  in an X selection for pasting into other X applications. xclip can also print
  an X selection to standard out, which can then be redirected to a file or
  another program.
