The package was removed after noone was interested in maintaining it for
four(!) years. Unless you plan to diligently maintain it, please do not
reintroduce it into Debian. Contrary to what could be the perception
when looking at some packaging efforts, Debian is not an encyclopedia of
every bit of source that has ever been available on the net.
If plr is unmaintained, it should not be released with lenny.
Kind regards
T.
