Well, I don't call that “precipitately”:
| Please remove unicorn:
| - mostly unused (2 in popcon for the binary package unicorn)
| - unmaintained (last upload from a year ago)
| - doesn't build with Lenny kernel
| - not in Lenny
| - depends on legacy libs (GTK 1.2), which will be removed soon
| - lacks support for important archs like amd64 (#306322)

RoQA was end of january, fixed 2 months later. I don't call that
“precipitated”. And those reasons look quite good to me…

What the hell? Oh, that's for non-free, apparently, OK…
