Hi PaulLiu,

If you'll pardon the question, why are you packaging a library that's
deprecated, one for which the upstream author's README now starts with "All
users of this project are urged to find an alternative as it is not maintained
anymore."?

I can't read the file contents while the package is still in the NEW queue, so
can't see if this question is already answered there.  But another thread has
started on debian-devel about the number of items in the NEW queue, and this
seemed an obvious question to ask about the package that's spent longest on the
queue.

Best regards,
Steve
