Freeze exception request for twyt

[Andrew Price <andy@andrewprice.me.uk>]

Hi,

I would like to request a freeze exception for twyt (python-twyt)
0.9.0-1 (current in Lenny: 0.8.5-1).

I realise there are restrictions on unfreezing packages where there are
substantial upstream changes. However, the Twitter API has changed
substantially since twyt 0.8.5 was released and has effectively
obsoleted 0.8.5.

So, leaving 0.8.5-1 in Lenny would just attract unnecessary grief and
bug reports. In my opinion, 0.9.0-1 is a much better candidate for
inclusion in Lenny, despite the number of non-trivial changes between
0.8.5 and 0.9.0.

If it cannot be unfrozen due to upstream version change restrictions,
could it be removed from Lenny entirely? There are currently no packages
which depend on it.
