Two months ago, I filed the above rc bug against slang-histogram.
Meanwhile, it got removed from buster and no reply. I think this is
sufficient time to proceed with actual removal. Therefore, please remove
the slang-histogram source package from unstable. Given that it is
provided by libslang2-modules, doing so cannot break any dependencies.
