Hi,

I suggest to remove aterm from Debian:

* Orphaned since 2008
* No more upstream-development (Upstream writes[1]: "aterm is
  deprecated and in a maintenance mode only; there will be no further
  updates.")
* No UTF-8 or Unicode support
* Upstream recommends[1] to use rxvt-unicode instead (which is what
  replaced aterm for me, too)

The only reason which prevented me from filing the removal request
immediately is aterm's Popcon values[2], which raised from 600 to 1000
half a year ago, after steadily going down for years.

                Regards, Axel
