Bug#579786: Bug#604968: w3-recs: Package is out-of-date
I have recently re-worked on the package, and an upload will come soon
(I'm waiting the review from my sponsor, many things have been changed
in 2 years). In the meantime, if you're intersested here is the new
(git) repository http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/w3-recs.git
Sorry for the delay.
