Unfortunately noone has stepped up to maintain these packages in Debian.
Potential users are better off compiling gnugk / h323plus from source
than using a packaged version that is seriously lagging behind and is
not maintained.
On behalf of the pkg-voip-maintainers team I'm hereby requesting removal
from unstable. A RM request of h323plus will follow in #891510
Best Regards,
Bernhard
