That's not a rule. Maintainers are allowed to say that their package should be removed if they believe that it's no longer useful; they're usually much more qualified to say that than, say, the QA group are. It's not as if it's impossible for somebody else to reintroduce the package if they really care. > And I don't remember to read anything from the current maintainer > either. Obviously you haven't looked too closely at who started this thread then? From: "Francesco P. Lovergine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Proposal: removing libc5, altgcc and all their old-days dependencies Package: libc5 Maintainer: Francesco Paolo Lovergine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
