Bug#781518: Please remove very outdated MakeHuman package
Dear Muammar,
there is a report that your makehuman package is broken and outdated, see below.
Accordingly, the package is already removed from our Testing distribution and
will not be part of our next Stable release.
Still, its presence in Unstable can still mislead users. The upstream
maintainers propose to remove the package from Debian. Would you agree to that ?
Have a nice day,
