Old, *unsupported* packages are, by definition, too buggy to be supported. The latter requirement is somewhere in the text about the main section. As we have a lot of very old, unused and unneeded packages, the QA team started an effort to find these. We filed over 100 bugs like the one you received in the last week and over 20 of them were directly answered by a "Oh, right, I wanted to remove the package anyway" from the maintainer. We can't decide if a package is still supported, so we try to get information from the maintainers, who should know more about their packages. To emphasize the importance of this question, the bug reports are filed as release critical bugs. If you think that the package is needed and you're willing to support it, you are free to close the bug. Marc -- BOFH #284: Electrons on a bender
