Ok, it's official. Libmusicbrainz4c2a will no longer work. It used the old
RDF web service:
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/?title=libmusicbrainz&oldid=41766#Version_2.x
"This version of the client library uses the old RDF web service and should
not be used in new development."
When NGS was introduced, the RDF web service was removed.

I guess this is the key question now. What's the procedure for having all
the musicbrainz 2.x libraries (and their dependancies) removed from Debian?
Once they're removed, could I then use the libmusicbrainz4 name?
Cheers
