The package was only orphaned yesterday but as it was broken for years
(only noticed yesterday after looking at the just orphaned packages),
I filled removal requests from stable [1] and testing [2].

 [1] http://bugs.debian.org/594484
 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/594485

The reason for filling removal requests instead of doing a NMU is that
it does not seems really to be used. I'm Cc'ing to the original
Maintainer in case Mario is still interested.

As the package is currently orphaned I would ask on debian-qa if there
are any objections to procede with the removal.
