Hi Moritz!

The popcon is indeed low. But I also noted that libaudio2 it's a very small 
package (~175 kB uncompressed in amd64) and having the lib itself installed 
it's not a big problem as far as I understand (or does it triggers something 
else I'm not aware?)

Yesterday I checked the possibility of adding it as a separate module but it 
seems there is no way to do that.

So, at least there is the intention of removing nas from Debian [0] I don't 
think I'll remove the support.

[0] For which I would wait for proper bugs+usertagging

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
