Well, it'll break the buildds, and be uninstallable in sid. That makes it either contrib or experimental removal. I suggest ITPing it and linking to your repository for the time being.

Is this a known bug or something ? Not that I know of, and certainly not without more info. -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
