reassign 517588 ftpmaster.debian.org retitle 517588 RM: bmpx - RoM; unmaintained upstream, uses outdated libraries thanks
I'm now requesting removal of BMPx, because it is unmaintained, and reverse dependencies will soon be removed from the archive. Since it is unmaintained and has some strange release-critical bugs, I do not feel like going to any effort to fix this package to build with the replacement reverse dependencies.
