I have been meaning to file a bug for the removal of this package, but
haven't goten around to it.  It is dead upstream, and it's functionality
is duplicated by other programs in the archive.  On top of that, the
general code quality is something less than I would like (which is why I
didn't want it releasing with stable).  Thanks for the prodding - I will
request a removal now.

Please do not NMU this package, obviously, but I wanted to be clear :)
