Dear Joel,

thank you for contacting us.  I am sorry that we are causing trouble to your
project with our outdated package.

The bug report #781306 caused the package to be removed from our "Testing"
distribution, therefore it will not be part of our next Stable release.

This partially solves the problem, but as of today the package is still
distributed in our "Unstable" distribtion and while this distribution is not
directed at general users, I understand that you would like it to be removed as
well.

As you have seen, I have contacted the package maintainer, and I propose to
wait 15 days and transfer the request for removal to our FTP archive team in
the absence of a response, which will result in the final removal of the
package.

Is that good for you ?

Have a nice day,
