Hi Jonas,

I noticed that you are listed as the maintainer of libbitcoin in 
Debian. [1] However, libbitcoin in Debian is currently not in good 
state. It FTBFS on all architectures, is affected by 5 RC bugs and 
hasn't receive any maintainer upload for 2 years. Besides, the 
maintainer team, Debian Bitcoin Team, became defunct due to Alioth's 
migration. The list mailing address is currently unreachable as a 
result.

Package libbitcoin0v5 is currently one of the last two binary 
packages in the unstable archive that pre-depends on the obsoleted 
multiarch-support package.

We really want to remove multiarch-support from Buster and Sid. If it 
is possible, please consider making another upload (it does not need 
to fix all RC bugs; fixing the FTBFS bug solely would be enough) and 
drop multiarch-support pre-dependency in the new upload. If you 
cannot make uploads to the package in the forseeable future, please 
tell us in a timely manner so that the package can be properly dealt 
for QA purposes.

To make sure that the problem can be solved before Buster freeze, I 
will submit a Removal bug to ftp.debian.org for package libbitcoin if 
there's no reply in the upcoming 31 days.

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
