Hi,
This mail tries to address the problem of not orphaned, poorly maintained
or useless packages in Debian. The proposal below tries to address both
cases, because they are often related. (useless packages tend to be poorly
maintained, and vice-versa).

You might need to be a little careful with this one. A package can be
quite useful

encodings have colons in them.

Hi folks
Unfortunately, I have to admit that I can not give all my packages the best
care anymore. My spare time is limited and a lot is already used for other
