Giram: Request for removal

[Jérôme Marant <jerome.marant@free.fr>]

Hi,

  I'm requesting giram (giram, giram-gnome, giram-mesa, giram-gnome-mesa)
  to be removed from Debian for the following reasons:

  - the upstream author is not responsive (possibly because he's working at
    MadrakeSoft)
  - it's development is very slow (8 months between 0.1.7 and 0.1.8)
  - the current version in Debian does not build any more. Neither does the
    the current upstream version. Moreover, I'm not experienced enough with
    autotools. I contacted the author may times but did not get a reply.
  - it is poorly featured and removing it won't be a big loss for Debian.
  - I'm not using it any more.

  If someone thinks he/she can work out these problems and that giram is
  worth staying in Debian (despite all what I said), please adopt it right
  now. Otherwise, it'll definitly disappear from Debian.

  Cheers,
