Dear Berry, Simon and the Games Team, I digged a little bit into package attal and found that the homepage is already converted into an irralevent page with hebrew contents. Googling found that there's a SourceForge project but is also inactive since 2012. As a result, I believe its upstream is already dead. Considering that there's also no packaging activity in Debian for the last 9 years and it suffers from Debian's Qt4 Removal, it should be eligible to package removal. Berry, please consider sharing your idea about the future maintenance of attal and attal-themes. I will try to submit an RM bug (RoQA) 31 days later if there's no reply. -- Sincerely, Boyuan Yang
