The dindel upstream repository [0] is "archived", the linked homepage
[1] 404s, and the only other reference on the original authors'
website[2] lists "Archive page. This resource is no longer available at the
Sanger Institute." and "This page is maintained as a historical record and is
no longer being updated."

Dindel requires seqan 1.4 which FTBFS[3] with gcc-10 and which is itself no
longer supported upstream. Upstream has declined to fix the FTBFS
bug[4] and they are focused on seqan 3 (seqan 2.x already being
superceded).

There are no other users of seqan 1.x in Debian.

Therefore I request that both source packages and their binary packages
be removed from the archive.

Many thanks!
