Dear Jeremy,

thank you for this bug report.

I contacted Seelablet's author: he will not maintain this package in a
foreseeable future. On reason is that the hardware addressed by the
package seelablet is discontinued, and that he developped an new
hardware, known as expeyes17, with similar features, and which already
has received a noticeable success.

As expeyes17 is supported by the debian package eyes17, which I
maintain, I think that the bes solution would be to ask for the removal
of seelablet from debian/sid and debian/buster.

As there are less than a hundred users of Seelablet box in the world,
its author says me that he can support these users with a custom
package, while a package in debian/stretch would be less useful. So this
package may be removed from debian/stretch too.

I filed a RM bug report.

Best regards,                   Georges.
