I request that for two main reasons:
- Given the amount of people complaining about the removal of these
ports, I feared that a lot of people wanted to control the port, and
that we end up in a situation were we have to handle conflicts. At the
end it seems very few people are actually interesting to do the real
work, so it's not really a problem anymore.
- It ease to be Debian developer to get access to all the previous data
about the port (mainly changes files), but at the end, given I did
this work, this point doesn't make sense anymore.
