Package: ftp.debian.org Hi
A number of libraries are being removed from sid for the next release. The xt package highly depends on those. It is really a major porting work to move. Likely equal to write the software from scratch. Therefore I would like you to remove the xt package.

I've looked into porting it, but there're just too many dependencies on legacy libs (gtkglarea, GTK 1.2, imlib, gdx-pixbuf). I suppose porting it might come close to a rewrite. It's likely easier to hack the traceroute functionality into Marble. Could you file a removal bug against ftp.debian.org, then?
