Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

please remove the package countrycodes from unstable and testing. It has
been dead upstream for several years, and provides wrong and outdated
data. In bug #506189, it was discussed to remove the package and use
isoquery (together with iso-codes) as replacement, as those packages are
providing current data. Moreover, isoquery provides nearly the same
functionality as countrycodes.

The package isoquery now provides a transitional dummy package for
countrycodes and will hopefully be granted a freeze exception, to
complete the transition in squeeze.

Regards,
Tobias
