The -n and -s options that allow vlock to be used within an X session to
lock all consoles.

This has already been discussed on the kbd mailing list.  See [1].

Alexey's stance seems to be kbd's vlock is not intended to replace the
vlock that has these features.  So it is the fault of the official repo
maintainers who deprecated community/vlock.

This has also been discussed on arch-general as well [2].  Seems like
their opinion is to request upstream.  So both arch-general and upstream
push the responsibility to the other party.

That is why I'd like a copy of the sources.  Depending on the license,
if any, I'll put a copy on Github and add a package on AUR to put an end
to this nonsense.
