Hi,
please remove grub-invaders (src:invaders) from the archive.
It relies on a Legacy BIOS to start, and since this has been entirely
replaced by UEFI since at least 2020, it's not useful on actual
hardware anymore (#1107639). While it's still possible to start it in
an emulated PC e.g. through QEMU, I don't think it should be part of
the next Debian stable releases anymore.
It was fun to hack on this, but now it's time to say "goodbye".

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
grub-invaders | 1.0.0-19 | amd64, i386
invaders | 1.0.0-19 | source
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; dead upstream; relies on Legacy BIOS
----------------------------------------------
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].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
