Severity: normal

Cinepaint is an old GTK+ 1.2 application.  It has been unmaintained for
quite some time (over 18 months); the (non-DD) maintainer has been MIA
since then.

Cinepaint is very buggy.  Many of the menu actions do not work, and
several cause an immediate segfault.  Even third party plug-ins such as
the Print plug-in (libgutenprintui, which I maintain) do not work.

Cinepaint is also being rewritten upstream, and as such the GTK+
codebase is being abandoned.  There have been a few point releases, but
it is essentially dead.

Cinepaint does occupy a particular niche, being the only paint program
in Debian (AFAIK) that can cope with bit depths over 8, such as 16-bit
RGB or CYMK.  It also supports ICC colour profiles.  However, given its
bugginess, it is probably best removed.


Thanks,
Roger
