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.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

Versions of packages gnus depends on:
ii  make                          3.81-5     The GNU version of the "make" util
ii  ucf                           3.007      Update Configuration File: preserv
