Proposing yada for removal



yada was recently orphaned: http://bugs.debian.org/636735 - I would
like to propose it for removal.  I believe it is unlikely to find a
maintainer.

There is a serious bug affecting all packages built using yada - yada
modifies the build-dependencies of the package during each build.
This will require some investment to fix, as it requires changing
how/when control files are regenerated:
http://bugs.debian.org/334164

14 packages Build-Depend on yada in unstable.

Other packages can perform the same role as yada, notably debhelper and cdbs.

Popcon is low - 121 installs, with a vote of just 21, and 98 old installs:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=yada

Since it is a native package, the fact that it is orphaned means that
there is currently no active development.

Kind regards,
