Hello Markus,

thanks for your efforts. I will try to find some time to review the updated
packaging but would be happy if other games team members would have a look
too.

Unfortunatelly my time for spring/springlobby is down to zero. Thats why I
filed the RFA bug [1] a while ago. The same is true for springlobby (no RFA
bug yet). I would be very happy to find a new volunteer to take care of
spring/springlobby.

Please go on with the removal request. It does not make sense to keep
unsupported software from my point of view.
