Please remove havp from testing



Hi, I'm forwarding the maintainer reply for my suggestion of removing
havp from testing. Rationale:

The package is RC-buggy (incorrect path usage)
It's uninstallable on default settings (postinst/prerm requires /var
mounted with -o mand).
Very few users: popcon reports only 15 installations.

Please CC me in replies.

This package seems to be unmaintained. As is also uninstallable on
default setups (it requires a special mount option on /var!!),
wouldn't it be reasonable to remove it from testing? (popcon reports

Not unmaintained, but poorly maintained - with me to blame. Feel free to
remove from testing, because there's currently nothing that can be done about
the requirement for the mandatory locks in the file system.
