Bug#901321: Bug#876197: Removed package(s) from unstable

Hi,

Just to confirm that after Buster release, this bug stills open and the error persists.

Hi,

I started on Debian at Ham release.  At that time mpage was part of Debian.  So I've a profound relationship with mpage as great tool along all these years.

But if my statement is correct, that package after 20 years at Debian was wrongly removed due a license which doesn't apply to delivered binaries, do you really believe the best approach is to ask a volunteer out of Debian developers/maintainers to join on Debian mentors to fix it?   Wouldn't be easier for you and Eriberto to just revert the removal?  I guess that any DSC from theses 20 years of Debian would work just fine.


Note: if you failed to reach me, try my alternative mail "helio.loureiro@gmail.com".
I'm implementing DKIM on my mail server, so some disturbance is expected.
