Hi Paul, thanks for this pointer.
Tagaini Jisho was removed because upstream took a long time to release
an official version supporting Qt5, and Debian proceeded with dropping
Qt4. The removal bug[1] says the package had been orphaned since 2016
but could be reintroduced, and the original maintainer (Thibaut Varene)
seems to longer be with Debian.
There were a couple of minor bugs open when the package was removed, and
I plan to see if they are still relevant (#672728, #673118).
The licensing uncertainty around inclusion of SKIP codes has been
resolved and they are again included[3][4], under CC-BY-SA-4.0 (I need
to update d/copyright still and switch to DEP-5).
