Hi! One of my packages, tcng, is long dead upstream, and without upstream work it goes less and less usable. Thus, a while ago I decided to RFA it, intending to ask for removal if no one steps up before Wheezy. Someone (Jakob Haufe) did in september, but I haven't heard from him since.
Due to an recent change in TeX, tcng started to FTBFS (#666336). The fix here is trivial, but I don't know whether it wouldn't be better to just proceed with asking for removal instead. I asked the ITPer (bug trace: ##612930) whether he'll take it over soon, take it over later but before Wheezy or not at all; I didn't get an answer. It's been only five days, though. Should I bother you with sponsoring an upload fixing the FTBFS (with the package likely going away soon), file a RM immediately, or ignore it for now? There's a yet another option, fixing the FTBFS and doing other minimal life support so the few remaining users (32 popcon votes) can have it in wheezy (tcng can't use any new improvements to netfilter, but old ways still work) -- perhaps I could make a final upload now and not remove it until after wheezy, looking if Jakob comes back?
