Well, I'm currently working on an improved version of look, and would
prefer it to be OS-agnostic rather than living in a package that has
"linux" in its name.  So I think moving look out of util-linux(-ng)
and into something more generic would be a good thing to do.

I don't have a personal stake in cal, but I do think, like look, that
it's a widely-useful tool and it seems somewhat odd for it to be grouped
in with tools that are platform-specific.

I'd say the same about several other things in util-linux... col, colcrt,
colrm, column, getopt, hexdump, logger, more, namei, pg, rename, rev,
script, ul, and write all seem quite generic.  (Also ddate, though I'd
categorize that as a game rather than a utility anyway.)
