Bug#713975: RM: turpial/1.6.9-1

[Miguel Landaeta <miguel@miguel.cc>]

Package: release.debian.org

Severity: normal

User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org

Usertags: rm

Hi folks,

I request the removal of turpial from stable and testing.                                                                      

turpial is a Twitter client that relies on API v1 and Twitter

removed support for that on July 11th[1].

Later, upstream announced[2] that they are not going to support

or maintain 1.6.9 branch so it makes no sense to keep including

this package on stable and testing due to bugs like #712519.
