libnet-finger-perl, remove?

[Michael Ablassmeier <abi@grinser.de>]

hi,

see forwarded Message. The Package has been orphaned 118 Days ago, the
last upstream release was 2001. Personally, i dont think it makes sense
to keep hit. However, if you think its still worth to do so, ill adopt
it.

	Well, there hasn't been a new release since 2001 because, as far
as I know, nobody actually uses it. I think this is the first email I've
gotten about it in 4 years, in fact. Heck, it was just a quick hack I
did one afternoon while I was bored at work. You can make your own
decision about whether it's distribution-worthy or not, but to the best
of my knowledge, its actual user base approximates zero.
