Please remove ztex-ezusb completely from the distribution, including unstable.
Reasons are
* virtually no response from the community
* upstream makes it too easy with tarballs to be already productive
* it is all Java, and the firmware/bitstream parts most interesting to build
cannot be built since the FPGA tools are non-free, i.e. not even redistributable
There is a smallish Open Source FPGA community that I felt like attracting to
Debian more. This needs more time.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
ztex-ezusb | 20111017-2 | source, all
ztex-ezusb-doc | 20111017-2 | all
ztex-ezusb-fwloader | 20111017-2 | all
ztex-ezusb-fx2-firmware-kit | 20111017-2 | all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RM; no audience, redundant with upstream
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
We try to close Bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they where closed
correctly or should have been re-assign to another package.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/673706
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
[email protected].
