Well, yeah, I only noticed/remembered after the upload that it has
been removed from testing already. :-)
Nevertheless, we now have up-to-date Vcs-* links (no more SVN, yeah!)
and a package description with a clear deprecation warning -- which
were my main motivations for the upload.
Since barnowl has been changed in January to no more use Net::IRC, I
wonder what's the current reason to keep it in Sid?
The only reverse dependency I still see in Sid is a "Suggests" by
munin-node. But there seems no bug-report for that:
https://bugs.debian.org/munin-node
Anyway, since there is no hard reverse dependency in Sid anymore, IMHO
we should either:
* File an RM bug and remove it also from Sid
* Lower the severity of #608583 and let it migrate to testing again.
Keeping it in Sid with (nearly) no reverse dependency, but not wanting
to release it with Jessie makes no sense IMHO.
(While I was clearly in favour of keeping it in the past, I'm now
rather undecided. I still think that this module is in better shape
than upstream claims. No bug reports in Debian and only a few known
issues upstream. And all claimed alternatives being rather bloaty and
more complex IMHO.)
Regards, Axel
