Hi, since I've the packages I backported for sarge no longer in use I'd like to give people a note to maybe adopt them in the form to update them if they like. Otherwise it might make sense to remove the. The packages in question are: lyx / dvipost From a security point of view both are harmless. LyX could be updated to at least the 1.4.5 version which will be released along with LyX 1.5. While the new 1.5 version might be unstable and more hard to backport because it's build with QT 4. As one of the package maintainers I've no intention to do it so if someone would like to take the challenge feel free. whitelister / syslog-ocaml I don't know if this package ever had any other users on sarge systems beside myself so it might even be safe to remove it. proftpd This is quite a bad situation because this package should not have entered bpo at the time it passed through. Now it's in and it might be usefull to have it updated. So if someone is still running Proftpd on sarge it could be usefull to pick this one up. At least someone should take care of security updates which might be needed. In this case I expect that the package has a user base so I guess it would be a bad move to simply remove it.
