With its very low popcon and the fact that it has no maintainer in Debian (or anywhere), I think your opinion is the most important here. If you want it to stay in Debian, I can sponsor your upload. Otherwise, I can file the removal bug now. > No problem, my patch shouldn't stop you from removing the package if > that is deemed as the better course of action.

This is an exceptional case. I think this is the oldest app I've seen in Debian (based on its last upstream release and maintainer upload and lack of NMUs). Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
