Hi,

I like to upload wot without any content. wot has been identified as
spyware/malware. Instead of just removing the package and leaving our
unsuspecting users with the malware, an empty, transitional package
upgrade removes the actual plugin.

This already happens in unstable and the package will migrate to
testing soon. stable is probably not affected by most of the spy code
(applied upstream after Jessie release), but because upstream cannot
be trusted anymore, I like to do the same for stable - just in case.

So far, no package is prepared, but I can do so, if stable RMs are
OK with the upload.

See https://bugs.debian.org/842939 for the incident
And read https://www.kuketz-blog.de/wot-addon-wie-ein-browser-addon-seine-nutzer-ausspaeht/ 
if you know German :~)
