Source: flowcanvas
Severity: important
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal
Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 ladish
Control: retitle -2 ladish: should this package be removed?

flowcanvas depends on numerous obsolete GNOME 2-era libraries
(e.g. #885095) and hasn't had a maintainer upload since 2009. Its upstream
website says:

    **Note**: FlowCanvas is dead, long live Ganv!

ganv is also in Debian as src:ganv; it's orphaned in Debian, but appears
to have commit activity upstream.

flowcanvas has one reverse-dependency in Debian, gladish (src:ladish),
whose most recent maintainer upload was in 2014. web.archive.org says
the ladish.org website has been down since mid 2014.

These packages both seem like candidates for removal from unstable.
If you agree, please reassign this bug to the ftp team with
control@bugs.debian.org commands similar to these:

severity xxxxxx normal
reassign xxxxxx ftp.debian.org
retitle xxxxxx RM: flowcanvas -- RoQA; depends on obsolete libraries, superseded by ganv

severity yyyyyy normal
reassign yyyyyy ftp.debian.org
retitle yyyyyy RM: ladish -- RoQA; depends on obsolete libraries, appears unmaintained upstream

(replacing RoQA with RoM if you are a maintainer of the appropriate package).

Thanks,
