Re: Let's remove moria

This is no reason for dropping. We should also support non-free software 
in Debian.

But it is in good shape at newest upstream version with no bugs.
Only Standards-Version should be updated.

We need as much games as possible in Debian, even if they are textbased, 
I think.

No new upstream version is available since last upload.

Why? You will only save some disk space on mirrors.
It is orphaned for 40 days only. Please give other maintainers some more 
time to take it.
There are other packages in really bad shape that should be removed firstly.

Perhaps Rene Weber, who was back from MIA in summer, is interested in taking 
it back. He wrote me in June, because he tried to get back as much of his 
old packages as possible. But I'm suprized that his devloper page on q.d.o shows 
only moria, that is orphaned. 
Is he on MIA again?
