Hi, I brought up the issue of Bitcoin Core (the new name/branding of the Bitcoin reference implementation, to distinguish between the specific software and the system) and Ubuntu a few months ago. I was told that while it could be (and then it was) removed from the then-next release, Trusty, and blacklisted from Debian syncing, it couldn't be removed from the repos. Someone (I seem to remember it being S(teve?) Langasek) mentioned that one possibility was an SRU (I think that was the term for it) that removed the software by "replacing" it with a dummy package. Recently, yet another user came in to the IRC channels and was having problems with version 0.3.24 as shipped in precise. At the time I tried figuring out how to go about proposing the dummy package replacement, and was unsuccessful. So, I'm asking here: if anyone has the knowledge/skill for it and is willing to help out with the process of "removing" the package?
