 Dear Maintainer,

 While reviewing some packages, your package came up as a possible
 candidate for removal from Debian, because:

 * Out of date. (Last maintainer upload was 2005).
 * Possibly inactive maintainer.
 * Upstream appears inactive since at least 2002.
 * Fairly low popcon

Well, the package is not out of date since it the latest upstream is
provided. However, I agree that it is not that much use and could probably be
removed from Debian.

Pray tell, why do you say Possibly inactive maintainer.?

 If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please
 just close this bug and do an upload also fixing the other issues.

What other issues? The BTS is clean.

I'm going to ask for the removal of this package, anyway, but I'n curious as
to why those statements are made.

Regards

Javier

Dear Maintainer,

candidate for removal from Debian, because:

* Out of date. (Last maintainer upload was 2005).
* Possibly inactive maintainer.
* Upstream appears inactive since at least 2002.

If you think that it should be orphaned instead of being removed from
Debian, please reply to this bug and tell so.

If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please
just close this bug and do an upload also fixing the other issues.

If you agree that it should be removed, send the following commands to
cont...@bugs.debian.org (replace nn with this bug's number):

severity nn normal
reassign nn ftp.debian.org
retitle nn RM: packagename -- RoM; reasons
thanks
