I intend to orphan the dmake package.
The package description is:
$ apt-cache show dmake
Package: dmake

Architecture: amd64

Description-en: make utility used to build OpenOffice.org
Dmake is a make utility similar to GNU make or the Workshop dmake.
.
This utility has an irregular syntax but is available for Linux, Solaris, and
Win32 and other platforms. This version of dmake is a modified version of the
original public domain dmake, and is used to build OpenOffice.org.
.
Dmake features:
* support for portable makefiles
* portable across many platforms
* significantly enhanced macro facilities
* sophisticated inference algorithm supporting
transitive closure over the inference graph
* support for traversing the file system both
during making of targets and during inference
* %-meta rules for specifying rules to be used
for inferring prerequisites
* conditional macros
* local rule macro variables
* proper support for libraries
* parallel making of targets on architectures
that support it
* attributed targets
* text diversions
* group recipes
* supports MKS extended argument passing
convention
* directory caching
* highly configurable

As the description says. Only used by OpenOffice.org (and then OpenOffice and
LibreOffice).
With LibreOffice 4.1.0 (just uploaded) the nw buildsystem named "gbuild" (which
was there before in (bigger) parts) is complete and thus it only
uses GNU make now -> noneed for dmake -> no interest at all anymore.
I guess if noone wants totake it it should be removed...

Rene
