I would like to request the removal of the package irssi-plugin-otr, the reasons
being:

1. there is a +3 year outstanding security issue with emotes being sent in the
clear: #569506

2. there is an almost 3-year outstanding issue with dataloss due to regular and
frequent segfaults (bringing down all of irssi and all state) with it: #576696

3. i haven't bothered to file a bug about the awful memory leaks

4. none of the above are ever going to be resolved, based on upstream's
apparent abandoning of the code

5. there is a new irssi-plugin-otr that is about to be released, it is a
complete re-write that has none of these issues and is actually quite
stable. Having this broken one in wheezy forever is going to cause confusion and
unhappy upstream. I've discussed the state of the debian situation with them,
and they would like to have the existing one removed: #695150

It has the same version as in squeeze, and there has been no upload since 2009,
and has no r-deps.

Thanks, it's always so much easier when everyone agrees :)
