Bug#334492: O: dcgui -- Direct Connect Graphical client (GTK+) (peer-based file-sharing)

I believe this package should be removed from Debian:

 1) There has not been a sourceful upload of this package since January
    2004 (and has been orphaned since October 2005).

    This in itself would not be a strong argument, but in those five years
    DC++ protocols and clients have moved on somewhat and dcgui cannot
    connect to most hubs (and can connect to even fewer clients).

 2) It has an excellent (GTK-based) replacement, linuxdcpp.

 3) The UI is simply *awful*. Just run it and you'll see what I mean. Just,
    wow.
