Dear maintainer,
I suggest removing ldp-docbook-stylesheets from Debian for the following
reasons:
* It accumulated two 18 years old bugs
+ #414541 Newer version available (20050304)
+ #442781 Proposing new upstream NMU
that remained unanswered about all these years
* It is unmaintained upstream for >20 years
* The last package (pbuilder) that was using it as
Build-Depends was recently uploaded and this depencency
was removed
* Popcon usage went down to nearly zero
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=ldp-docbook-stylesheets&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
* There seems to be no active maintainer
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.
In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
bugs listed above.
* If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.
* Would you mind taking over the maintenance of this package?
Once all of the mentioned bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: ldp-docbook-stylesheets -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:ldp-docbook-stylesheets
Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.
In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.
Control: tags -1 + wontfix
Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment.
This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
ldp-docbook-dsssl | 0.0.20040321-3.1 | all
ldp-docbook-stylesheets | 0.0.20040321-3.1 | source
ldp-docbook-xsl | 0.0.20040321-3.1 | all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; unmaintained upstream for >20 years, no rdepends
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
