Bug#901398: bbdb: remove this package?
Package: bbdb
Version: 2.36-4.1
Severity: important
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
This package hasn't seen an upstream update since 2010. The only
Debian upload since 2014 was an NMU by me almost a year ago.
It seems superceded upstream by what Debian calls bbdb3, which has an
active maintainer.
I don't think it should be in Buster as effectively a Debian specific
fork. OTOH, I'm not user of either bbdb or bbdb3, so I'm open to
hearing why we should keep both versions of bbdb, as long as someone
is willing to do the needed ongoing maintence, in particular keeping
up with new versions of emacs.
