Bug#1095756: RM: sensors-applet -- ROM; Debian GNOME Maintainers consider removal the most appropriate action

[Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org>]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: sensors-applet@packages.debian.org, debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>, Sam Morris <sam@robots.org.uk>, Filippo Giunchedi <filippo@esaurito.net>
Control: affects -1 + src:sensors-applet
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove

Hi,

quoting two members from Debian GNOME Maintainers team:

 Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>[1]
  Looking at sensors-applet's bug list and upstream homepage, it seems
  like it uses various other deprecated things that are on life support
  (such as dbus-glib, which has been deprecated for years) ...
  ...
  sensors-applet is a leaf package with a rapidly declining popcon score,
  ...
  I think RM:RoQA might be the most appropriate action.

 Dmitry Shachnev <mitya57@debian.org>
  Please do RM:RoQA if it prevents you from removing dbus-glib or other
  deprecated things.

So please lets remove this package.

Kind regards and thank you for your work as ftpmaster
   Andreas.
