It's a native package, there's no need to develop a replacement, just fix up
the thing we have (or entirely replace it if you wish).

It does not function with live-wrapper and is broken in strange ways for
live-build. Mostly l10n and weird driver things, neither of which do we have
the resource to maintain, and I definitely wouldn't want to release this in
stretch.

I've orphaned it for now, to allow someone else to take over, but "in the
maintainer's opinion it is not fit for release" applies here.

Thanks,
Iain.
