Package: qa.debian.org
The version of MakeHuman currently included in the repo is a four year
old alpha. As per bug report (#781306) it does not even seem to start.
At this point it seems unlikely that an acceptable, less ancient,
version could be included in Debian. Thus, we in the MakeHuman crew
humbly requests that the currently available package at least be
removed. It reflects poorly upon both Debian and MakeHuman that the
current package is still around.
We have filed a request (#751755) for a version bump, where we also
offered to help in whatever way we could, but have so far not got a
response.
As per https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/removal:
1. - (we don't know how many, or if anyone, is using the debian version)
2. The version in the repo is an alpha. A stable version has been around
for some time
3. There is a functional deb available on our home page. However, this
might need to be adapted to fit debian guidelines
4 & 6. As far as we can see, the maintainer hasn't touched the package,
nor commented on bug reports for quite some time
5. - (upstream is very active)
7. No stable release was ever in debian, but a stable release is available.

The outcome of this bug report seems to be that someone picked up bringing the
makehuman package in a better shape so there's no reason to remove this package
for the time being. Closing.
