Bug#673946: ITA: hellanzb -- Newzbin (nzb) & BinNews (bns) files downloader and post-processor

Hello Bart,

The package has been imported into the PAPT SVN[1], and updated to
latest packaging standards.

[1] http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-apps/packages/hellanzb/

I have been waiting for feedback on one of the outstanding RC bugs[2],
to no avail. As the bug is quite old, does not really make sense to me,
and contains virtually no information, I'm tempted to just close it.

When this issue is cleared, the package should be ready for upload. I
might subsequently upgrade to a current git snapshot. The upstream
website[3] is (more or less) dead, and the original author has collected
patches to fix bugs on github[4], in "maintainance mode".

All in all, seeing the very low upstream activity (no commits in years)
and considering the available alternatives (e.g. sabnzbd) it might even
be better to consider removing the package altogether.

The package won't be part of wheezy, so we have some time to weigh the
different options anyway.

Thanks for your interest,
