Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi! As sad as it is to bury such a project, I think the next Debian release (Buster) should not ship with the Limba bundling system, and the package should also not be available in unstable anymore.
The design of Limba neeeds some major changes in order to be viable in future, but the purpose it was written for is nowadays largely covered by Flatpak which has much more manpower behind it. Limba ships a few security-relevant components, including a suid-root binary, and having that not properly maintained isn't good at all and shouldn't be in a stable Debian release. All rdeps of Limba have already been adjusted, so removing the package should be easily possible. Thank you! Cheers, Matthias
