Bug#789146: RFA: libept -- Obsolete commandline tool to search the package archive

[Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libept package.

The package description is:
 ept-cache has been superseded by axi-cache, provided by apt-xapian-index.
 .
 This package provides a dummy ept-cache script that just call axi-cache.

I am upstream, but when it comes to Debian packaging I miss the energy
and motivation to stay on top of rather important things like the
apt-pkg ABI system. I am not even able to understand all of the cmake
packaging, which was not done by me.

I'd like to keep being upstream and chopping away bits of libept's code
until the library becomes trivial or disappears entirely (see #540218),
but I wish somebody else could take care of the packaging, and do a
proper job at it.

Thank you,

Enrico
