No problem; after looking at the package, it wasn't clear to me that
it was entirely obsoleted; I'll pass this message on to the QA group,
so they know it is actively used.
BTW, what features specifically?
Do/did you use saoimage? It was recently removed from Debian
unstable, and afaict was more clearly obsoleted by ds9.
