what should we do about confluence?



Hello,

the package "confluence" is orphaned, and build-depends on ocaml, so we 
could consider adopting it by the team. The orphaning message is here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418965

This message says that "confluence"  is superseeded by a new project
called HDCaml. Looking around on the web I find that HDCaml in turn has
been abandonend too, and is now replaced by a project called "atom"
(http://funhdl.org/wiki/doku.php/atom) - which aparently is written
in Haskel ...

Popcon count is quite low (60 installations). What should we do about it?
Gildor just says on #debian-ocaml: 

 i think you should leave a README.Debian stating this package has only
 been adopted by d-o-m for rebuilding it, but that it will be dropped if
 there is RC bugs on it

I guess that is what I am going to do, and put debian-ocaml-maint as
maintainer. Any other opinions on that?

-Ralf.
