I believe it makes sense to remove xcftools from Debian because there is a lack
of upstream support and development but I wouldn't be too aggressive about the
removal at the moment. My intention is to send a patch to fix the open CVE in
stable to you when we have addressed the remaining 32 bit issues. I believe it
would be possible to substitute xcftools with imagemagick but as Simon McVittie
for game-data-packager already pointed out, the result wouldn't always be the
same. So a bug report like "Should this package be removed from Debian" with
severity important should be sufficient for now and bug reports for reverse-
decencies that highlight the current problems are a good start.

Cheers,

Markus
