And that rdep is relatively important since AFAIK we use loggerhead at least on
alioth to browse bzr repositories.

Maybe it's best to invest a bit of time into updating it rather than
dropping it just for the sake of its low popcon?

There are rdeps, though.

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
advene: advene
loggerhead: loggerhead
mobyle: mobyle
pubtal: pubtal
pygopherd: pygopherd

# Broken Build-Depends:
loggerhead: python-simpletal
mobyle: python-simpletal
python-bottle: python-simpletal

Dependency problem found.


Now, probably removing them is not easy, so maybe I'm going to do a QA
upload and orphan the package in the meantime, but I still think it's
probably better to not have unmaintained stuff in the archive, so it'd
be nice if somebody could try fixing those.

The maintainer (jenner) seems MIA (even if not declered officially by
the mia team), nobody in the DPMT stepped up maintaining it in the last
10 years, and packaging a new upstream release that is out since at
least 2009.
