tla has another rdep, and this one can actually still be useful:
git-arch

I doubt there are many (if any) people still using Arch, but being able 
to import the history from an existing Arch repository to git might 
still be useful in some rare cases.

tla is obsolete and it is hard to imagine any reason why anyone would 
want to adopt tla, but keeping it alive as QA maintained package for
a few more years is a reasonable option.

Now with jessie on the horizon and an open RC bug,
shall we remove it? Upstream seems to have vanished
(it's no longer listed on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu)
and there are only two reverse deps, which can be
removed along: fusionforge-plugin-scmarch and
libarch-perl.

Cheers,

TLA currently seems to be in bad shape currently:

 - it embeds ancient libneon 0.24.7 and does not
   work with newer ones (#395877, #402952).
 - lintian warns it needs a relibtoolizsation

I guess fixing those might be non-trivial amount of
work, so if no maintainer shows up, it might make
sense to remove it before wheezy releases.
