And it's grossly out of date WRT upstream to the point of having
security holes. Kill it.

was simple and unarguable probably had a lot to do with
that: if you had a high score under that metric, you clearly
sucked, and the only reasonable responses were to do the damn work
or find somebody else to do it. Of course, it didn't work for very
*long
een orphaned some time ago.
In this case, it appears that the package has been dropped from the
distribution entirely (probably because of the security issues), so
there's no bug open about it being orphaned.
You can't NMU it, because there's nothing to NMU. You'd have to upload
i
all today?
If nothing else, I don't think it belongs in the default install. It's
pretty damn obscure nowadays.

ly it has been fixed.
225172 is not a bug, because this package is in contrib and may depend
on things not in Debian. It should have been closed a long time ago.
227408 is "learn how to write a copyright file you idiot"
228072 is the old freetype
r a year
ago because he wasn't maintaining his packages properly, due to sheer
lack of time spent on them, over a sustained period. Haven't noticed
much activity since then. He appears to have popped up in the past
couple of days, but that may not mean anything.
Martin, this may need your
ijacked due to non-maintainance.
This guy is a notorious repeat offender. Just do it, already. Why does
he even still have packages? I thought most of them were already
orphaned.

Upstream has been dead for many, many years and the package

kages out so they aren't in the
same source as java-common, if java-common is the part you want to see
installed soon. Then deal with the dummy issues later.

How about spotting duplicate bugs and merging them?

x27;s buggy, and real ssh does the job; I'm not aware
of any compelling justification for it's continued existance. I
suggest it should be removed from the archive.
