Hello,

It is not a "vanity" package.
It was used by lots of students and some professors of University of 
Marne-La-Vallée, and some other school in Paris.
(I knew it because some students - not mine, i am in Bordeaux - frequently, 
asked me for some help).

Few years ago, they didn't exist very simple graphic library that allow to make 
graphical game
in C with just few lines, as, for example : 

 create_windows()
 draw_line(...)
 wait(5)
 close_windows()

And SDL was a little too complicated for beginer (student in first year).
This libray solved that probblem.

The problem is that i didn't have any time to maintain that package and to 
migrate that library to SDL2.
And actually, i don't know if that package is always used.

In that condition, perhaps, it is better to remove that package from the debian 
repository.

I am sorry that this library gave you some pain, but, few year agos, it was 
very helpfull for a small community.

Hi Simon,

I think this a vanity package that should be removed right away
without wasting too much time on it.

Greetings
