Hi SRM,
looking-glass upstream has requested removing this package from stable
releases. I don't think this is something we commonly do, but they have
told me that the presence of older versions has caused them significant
support overhead.
In practice, using looking-glass requires installing a companion app
(looking-glass-host) inside a Windows VM. The host app is distributed
separately by upstream, so it is easy to end up with mismatched
host+client versions which basically ends up not working. Older versions
lack many features and performance optimizations too, so IMO there is
limited value in keeping them around.
At the moment I have opened a separate bug (#1094308) to keep the
package out of testing as well.
Best,
James

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from stable:
looking-glass | 0+b5.0.1-2 | source
looking-glass-client | 0+b5.0.1-2+b1 | amd64
obs-plugin-looking-glass | 0+b5.0.1-2+b1 | amd64
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; upstream requested removal
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using https://snapshot.debian.org/.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to 1094...@bugs.debian.org.
