Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

It's a shame having to do this for a package with an active maintainer, but I
strongly feel like dtc should be removed from debian.  My reasons for thinking
this:

* It seems like anyone that spends any time looking at this package finds
security bugs.

* If you don't want to look specifically for security bugs, there are plenty of
other RC bug s to be found.

* This package depends on being able to modify configuration files of other
packages. (see #637501 and the bugs referenced in that bug)

I'm troubled by the responses that the many security bugs in these packages get
from the maintainer who is also the upstream author.  I'm worried that the
maintainer/upstream author does not have an adequate respect for security
related issues.
