The long description finishes with this ambiguous (grammatically incorrect) 
line:

"This package is a fork of the afl package that is no longer maintained"

It seems to say that "this package... is no longer maintained", meaning
that somebody forked AFL, made some changes, and then stop maintaining their
fork, while AFL continued on.  This is obviously untrue, given that AFL
is now a transitional package in oldlibs.

The issue is because"that" refers to the subject, which is "this package", 
not the object ("the afl package")

An alternate phrasing would be:

"This package is a fork of the unmaintained afl package"

It sounds pendantic, but I was genuinly confused for a little bit!
Thanks,
Calum
