This package should probably be removed, as outlined in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552183:

* fails to build from source (missing dependency on libglade2, but when that's
  fixed, the GNOME applet seems to be missing the CFLAGS for libgnomeui)
* last upstream release was in 2005
* uses some deprecated GNOME libraries (e.g. libgnomeui)
* alternatives include genius, qalulate, extcalc, galculator, Python, ...

Since we take this package verbatim from Debian, I think there is no
further action required, should Debian decide to remove the package.
