Hi,
since dailystrips was a candidate for the Bug of the Day today I had a
look into the package and imported it into Salsa. When looking at
debian/README.Debian[1] which says:
Due to the high volatility of the strip information stored in
</usr/share/dailystrips/strips.def>, this package may be often out of date,
especially in Debian's "stable" release.
WARNING: As upstream development seems to have ceased, use of
"dailystrips-update" is no longer recommended. As such, it has been
neutered, and will be removed in a future release of this package. Please
remove it from any automated jobs.
you might guess that this package needs care very freqwently. There is
some fork at Github[2] with latest update 9 years ago and the patch
shipped inside the Debian package was also not maintained for a long
time (despite it was just created in Bastians NMU where he created
a source format 3.0 compatible patch).
Another measure is the number of bugs requesting adaptations (with or
without patches) which are not answered.
So we can somehow assume the package is non-functional and unmaintained
which does not make any sense for this package. That's why I suggest to
remove it from Debian.
Kind regards and thank you for your work as ftpmaster
Andreas.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
dailystrips | 1.0.28-11.3 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
Package says in README.Debian package
----------------------------------------------
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 and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall 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 were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned 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].
