Bug#418965: package confluence



Hello,

the confluence package is in bad shape. When we adopted it in 2007 it
was already dead upstream, and almost nothing has been done to maintain
this package since the initial effort. It has non-negligable popcon
of 380, but I guess that this is mainly due to the fact that it is a 
Recommends of the science-electronics meta-package. I see the following
possibilities:

1) someone invests some time to bring the package up to date (not me);
2) we drop the package from science-electronics, and ask ftp to remove
   the package from sid;
3) we orphan the package, and let it continue to rot as part of debian;
4) we do nothing, and let it continue to rot as part of d-o-m.

I am for (2). So, if noone steps up for (1), and if there are no objections
by one week from now, I will ask ftp for removal.

Cheers -Ralf.
