Real, low-power servers, so no virtualized tty, and small (preferrably flash-based, but haven't switched that yet) disk partitions.Okay. I don't see a strong reason to remove the package from the unstable branch, however, as it hasn't been released with lenny, and it doesn't currenty look like it will make it with squeeze either, would it be a compromise to move the pacakge to the experimental branch?
Ahem, compromise between what? "old buggy and unmaintained" and "usable"?
How about simply closing this bugreport if it is no longer the case that the release team - regardless of other bugs! - consider this package too buggy for release.
Doing so would not cause a horribly broken yaird to enter Squeeze, as other bugreports still hold it back, but it would help encourage working on those issues as currently this very bugreport means normal rules of our BTS is set aside by the release team and the package is in essense being banned!
