Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

prozilla had had no development upstream for years, since the author simply
vanished. Some time ago, a group of individuals tried to get development
going again, but they haven't been seeming to be able to do it, actually,
what makes me consider it mostly "orphaned upstream".

Some time ago, people discovered non-free code inside it, what would
unavoidably result in its removal. "Upstream" didn't co-operate, and rather
attacked me, saying "Debian" had waited for the author to go away (or better,
be away, so he couldn't struggle for his rights) to complain, try to change
the license, etc.

In addition, bugs that nobody wants to deal with have started to pop up, and
there are far better downloaders out there (that also don't cause all the
damage prozilla usually does), even though prozilla's ncurse interface seems
to be unique.

Therefore, I humbly request its immediate removal.

Thankfully,
