This bug only seems to affect Python 2.6, which is not yet in unstable;
however, I'm going to leave it as serious anyway, since Python 2.6 will
hopefully arrive in unstable soon.

A patch for this exists in Ubuntu
(<http://patches.ubuntu.com/g/gadfly/gadfly_1.0.0-13ubuntu3.patch>,
LP: #341057), and I started to prepare a non-maintainer upload to fix this
bug. However, while testing the NMU I found that /usr/bin/gfserver doesn't
work at all, and opened bug #559374.

It appears that upstream development stalled in 2005, and nothing in Debian
depends on this package, so I'm not sure that it should remain in the archive.
I've marked it for potential removal.

Regards,
    Simon
