(Perhaps also make “fortune-mod” a deprecated name for
“fortune-jkirchartz”.)

FWIW I’m fine with this change.  Note that there’s also another patch
that removes the ‘off’ database of ‘fortune-mod’¹, though I don’t know
whether that would fully address the issues raised in this thread.  It
will have to closed if/once this series is applied.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
