Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear ftpmasters,

nwrite is an "enhanced write(1) replacement". Now write(1) itself is not
very fashionable anymore except for system messages (think reboot, but
this is really wall(1) then).

nwrite has not seen any uploads since 2012, is orphaned in Debian since
2018, its upstream has also disappeared. Popcon seems to be very low.

With my util-linux Maintainer hat on, I would like to remove the
alternatives setup for write(1), and nwrite is the last other package
supplying a write program.

Please consider removing nwrite.

Many thanks,
Chris
