Shouldn't "prelude-nids" package be removed ?

[Florent Bayle]

Hi,

I think that "prelude-nids" package should be removed because :
  - Upstream seems to be dead :
      - it is not part of the last releases of "Prelude Hybrid IDS" [1]
      - looking at the SVN [2], it seems that the last change was on 
2004-02-17 (see the ChangeLog), and the last release on 2003-12-09 (see NEWS)
  - There is 1 RC bug (#347822) which prevent it to build since 144 days
  - It is a blocker of cdebconf transition (#332074)
  - It was removed from testing on 2006-02-18, lintian report 1 error and 2 
warnings, popcon report very few users

As I'm not the maintainer of the package, nor a member of the qa group, I will 
not file the bug on ftp.debian.org, so if you think that this ask for removal 
is justified, please file it yourself.
