Ok let me clarify this again 1) The original code of the package is gone since upstream started from scratch. 2) It has no maintainer. 3) It has open bugs and upstream will never fix them and there is no maintainer to patch the code to fix it properly. So per treecleaner policy the package will be removed. Or have you just volunteered to become maintainer and fix the bugs? -- Regards, Markos Chandras
