Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
dbengine has not been maintained upstream for some years now, and its
functionality has been largely supplanted by packages like phpmyadmin
and phppgadmin. OK, these don't also support Oracle, but that is not a
good enough reason to maintain the package in Debian. And also, did I
mention that dbengine no longer even works properly? That nobody has
reported this as a bug indicates that probably nobody is using it. So,
it's time for this package to be orphaned.
