Here is the some reasons to remove hinawa-utils from testing: * The hinawa-utils depends on libhinawa (2.x), and the newer release of libhinawa (4.x) drops obsolete features. hinawa-utils depends on the obsolete (removed) features. Thus hinawa-utils is useless without it. * The newer release of libhinawa (4.x) should be in next stable release, but because of breaking dependency, it blocks migration of libhinawa (4.x) from unstable. * The upstream author develops such a obsolete feature into separate library - libhitaki, but it is not packaged yet in debian. * hinawa-utils is under maintenance mode, so I have no idea when it supports libhitaki yet. So, I decided to remove it and it should not be part of next stable release (for now) In the future, if libhitaki was packaged in debian and hinawa-utils supports it, then salvage hinawa-utils package which supports libhitaki again.
