Bug#490688: gnus: Old alpha version shouldn't be included in lenny
Package: gnus
Version: 5.11+v0.5.dfsg-3
Severity: serious
This package should be orphaned, currently it has a two year old version of
the gnus development series (No Gnus). If the package goes to lenny it should
atleast have the latest No Gnus version.
I have not had any problems with No Gnus, but they are still declared alpha
versions, and maybe should be completely kept out of stable. Both emacs and
xemacs have the latest stable Gnus already included.
