I intend to orphan the prcs package.

The package description is:
 PRCS, the Project Revision Control System, is the front end to a set
 of tools that (like CVS) provide a way to deal with sets of files and
 directories as an entity, preserving coherent versions of the entire
 set.
 .
 Its purpose is similar to that of SCCS, RCS, and CVS, but (according
 to its authors, at least), it is much simpler than any of those
 systems.
 .
 Emacs-Lisp support is distributed in a separate package, prcs-el.  Another
 package called prcs-synch contains a tool to synchronize PRCS projects
 between repositories, both locally and remotely.
 .
 Homepage: http://prcs.sourceforge.net

This package is practically dead upstream, even if its author claims that he
still intend to work on it.  I have dreamed for a long time of PRCS
replacing CVS worldwide, which could have happened if PRCS2 would have come
out. Instead of keeping waiting for that, I converted myself to Subversion
and I must confess that I have no intention to use PRCS anymore.  It is too
bad, because PRCS is a very well written piece of software.  Unfortunately,
it is becoming a museum item.

Under these circumstances it makes no sense for me to keep the maintainance
of the Debian package.  For those distressed about losing PRCS forever, I
added a present in my last upload (version 1.3.3-3): a script, called
prcs2svn, which converts a PRCS project in a Subversion repository. It is
not perfect, but allows to store the history of your projects under PRCS
control in a SVN repository.  I also contributed it to the prcs project at
SourceForge (but I am afraid it will never be released...).  You can find
the script either in the Debian package or at:

    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/prcs/prcs1/prcs1/contrib/prcs2svn/

The binary Debian packages being orphaned are the following:

    prcs
    prcs-el
    prcs-synch
    prcs-utils
    prcs-visualtree
    
They are lintian-clean, apart a warning regarding CVS directories in the
source tarball.  There is a substantial amount of bug reports filled against
the packages: 8 for prcs, 2 for prcs-el, and 2 for prcs-utils, and 1 for
prcs-synch.  11 of them are tagged upstream and one relates to FTBFS on
am64d using gcc 4.0 (there is a patch for it).  Only one bug against prcs-el
is pure-Debian.

I was very pleased in maintaining the prcs package over 6 years.  I wish
good luck to the next maintainer!

Changes: 
 prcs (1.3.3-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * The "Stayin' alive, stayin' alive" release.
 .
   * New maintainer (closes: #293805).
   * debian/control: Update maintainer contact information.
 .
   * debian/prcs-el.emacsen-startup:
     + Use debian-pkg-add-load-path-item, don't special-case load-path
       modification for Emacs 19 which is long gone (closes: #272152).
     + Do nothing if the package has been removed but not purged.
     + Add source files to load-path.
 .
   * debian/patches/10_prcs-el_dirs.dpatch: New patch to prcs-hooks.el,
     wrap call to directory-files with condition-case to workaround a bug
     where opening files in executable but non readable directories
     signalled an error, many thanks to Aaron M. Ucko <ucko@debian.org>
     (closes: #294074).
 .
   * debian/patches/20_prcs-mv.dpatch: New patch, bring prcs-mv in sync
     with latest upstream (somewhat belatedly), patch submitted by Yann
     Dirson <dirson@debian.org> (closes: #204265).
 .
   * debian/patches/30_diff-N-corruption.dpatch: New patch, fixes a bug
     where calling 'prcs diff -N' on a project where files have been
     locally removed would completely wipe the PRCS project file...
     (closes: #159853).
 .
   * debian/patches/40_prcs_checkin.dpatch: New patch, initial checkins
     cannot be run with --no-action because PRCS needs the repository
     entry, clarify error message to make this more explicit in the command
     output (closes: #149811).
 .
   * debian/patches/50_prcserror_segv.dpatch: New patch, check pointer in
     prcserror.cc before dereferencing it to prevent a segmentation fault,
     this could happen in some cases when removing already deleted
     attributes from a project file during a merge (closes: #177879).
 .
   * debian/patches/60_prcs_empty-locks.dpatch: New patch, when trying to
     get a lock on the repository, ignore empty lock files instead of
     bailing out with the "Inconsistant lock information" message: empty
     lock files get created when the filesystem runs out of space at
     checkin time and we should just ignore them (closes: #156588).
 .
   * debian/patches/70_man_fixes.dpatch: New patch, fixes a few typos and
     spelling errors in man pages.
 .
   * debian/patches/50_g++-3.4.dpatch: Dropped (it doesn't actually fix the
     build with G++ 3.4).
   * debian/patches/80_build_fixes.dpatch: New patch:
     + (Conditionally) use new __gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf prototype for g++
       versions newer than 3.3 (closes: #268350).
     + Change hash.cc to cast to long instead of int, for lack of a better
       fix (closes: #287958).
     + Drop erroneous fdopen change from the previous patch (closes: #294221).
 .
   * debian/patches/90_prcs-synch_misc.dpatch: New patch to prcs-synch:
     + Change the doc to say 'prcs-synch' instead of 'synch' when referring
       to the script since it's how it's called in Debian.
     + Apply a patch from "R. Church" <rc@ghostbitch.org> to fix
       repository sync failures over SSH (closes: #134047).
 .
   * debian/patches/00list: Update.
   * debian/control: Update build dependency on dpatch to >= 2.0.9 for the
     new style patches.
