Very little upstream activity and not expected to be anything happening
with it soon, and some breakages etc that should be fixed for it to be
used. I'm not using it, and rather dropping it than putting it in the
ever-growing pile of maintainer needed. Feel free to take it if you want
it though.

Wait, there have to be reasons for removal now?! 

The only good last-rites messages I've ever seen from from jstein where
there is indeed a good traceable path as to why the dev feels that the
package is "beyond repair". Otherwise it does seem like a lot of cases
of "can't be bothered with this any more, lets kill it off". Correct me
if I'm wrong, by all means ...
