Hi,
please remove swftools from testing. It seems unmaintained by now
and has open security issues. Proposal from unstable was already
proposed in #843033 seven months ago (but hasn't seen a maintainer
comment either), that can happen independantly, but it seems the
right time to remove it from testing.
Cheers,
Moritz

Not really feasible until the release. Closing, then.
