I would like to keep dia around as I see value in it.
The easiest way to accomplish that would simply be to disable the
python(2) plugin. Attaching a patch that does that (which maybe someone
wants to extend with Breaks: towards affected reverse dependencies).
(BCCing #938690 and #936830 for comments)
This however would (I assume) make the trac-diavisview and ldaptor
reverse dependencies non-functional. Both of them seem like leaf
packages which could easily be removed. Is there anyone that sees
any value in keeping these around? Is there anyone that intends to put
in the work that's needed for that? (Or any work at all?)
Right now there are no replies on the bug reports so I'm going to assume
noone cares as long as noone speaks up. I will shortly NMU dia (unless
someone else offers to take care of this), so speak up now or forever
hold your peace!
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
