reassign -1 grip
retitle -1 grip: please remove libghttp from your build-dep (you don't link with it, so it's probably useless)
severity -1 serious
clone 300231 -2
reassign -2 orpheus
retitle -2 orpheus: please remove libghttp from your build-dep (you don't link with it, so it's probably useless)
severity -2 serious

Hi,

libghttp has been orphaned since 2005. It would be great to get rid of
it, but some packages are still using it:

* digitaldj (dep on libghttp): could probably be removed. we already have
  a lot of MP3 players in the archive.

* grip (b-dep on libghttp): build-depends on libghttp, doesn't link with
  it. (bug filed)

* orpheus (b-dep on libghttp): same as grip: b-dep, but binary package
  doesn't dep on libghttp

* libhttp-ghttp-perl (dep on libghttp): low popcon. could probably be
  removed.

* telegnome (dep on libghttp): hasn't been updated upstream since 2000.
  could be removed?

Any comments?
