Thank you for your reply.
I'm still in my busy sommer weeks so this response is a bit late. Will
have free time again by mid of next week (including time for debian).

Your answer isn't very helpfull to me as it is. So I have some
questions:
      * If I want to go for keeping it in debian (what I of cause prefer
        and will do my very best) will you 0) allow uploads while in
        freeze for packages readding RoarAudio support, 1) will you
        suggest to do this to people who removed it because of Ron?
        (Statement on this ML will of cause do, just something I can
        link).
      * If your answer to one of the above question is 'no' I don't feel
        like spending time on this will help anybody. I suggested to
        file RMs but you asked to keep them. Shell I just orphan them
        instead?

Please do not get me wrong: I'm very interested in maintainig the
packages and ensure they are in a good shape, but I'm not interested in
maintaining perfectly useless packages.

Solving this in unstable isn't an option for me because this makes
renders it unuseable for people using stable (people are already asking
me what happend).

I thank you for your answer.
