Dear Maintainer,
your package depends on makedev, which itself is long obsolete.
Please replace this dependency.
Thanks,
Chris

Source: acpica-unix

A long time ago, acpixtract and acpidump were provided by more than
one packages. Those alternate versions have long gone away.
Please remove the alternatives setup from acpica-unix, to reduce
overall complexity.
Thanks,

Source: cpqarrayd
Version: 2.3.6
Severity: serious
Linux upstream has removed the "cciss" driver in 4.14-rc1. cpqarrayd
needs the cciss driver to function.
I imagine we shouldn't ship software that did not work with buster's
kernel in bullseye.

Severity: serious
Upstream (Gitea) appears to have moved on to another solution, so
this is dead code (upstream repo is marked as archived).
Lets not have it in bullseye, especially as nothing else depends on
it, and its orphaned

Severity: important
Dear cdbackup Maintainers,
your package depends on wodim and genisoimage, both built from
cdrkit sources. cdrkit does not have a path forward, please switch
away from it rather soon. I'm told xorriso and libburnia are
alternatives and are
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
please remove nanoblogger from unstable (and nanoblogger-extra). It
hasn't seen real maintenance in 10 years - unsuprisingly, given upstream

Package: svtools
Version: 0.6-4
Severity: important
Hi,
the package "svtools" has been orphaned by its original maintainer
over 7 years ago. The Debian maintainer was also the upstream
maintainer. Upstream has archived the project, and the last change
was over 9 years ago.
Is this still useful s
Source: hotswap
Priority: important
hotswap is software for managing IDE drives, relying on the old
CONFIG_IDE=y IDE subsystem in the kernel. This was designed for
Linux kernel series 2.4.
On no Debian release architecture any current kernel enables
CONFIG_IDE. Therefore, in a normal Debian setup

Version: 3.1-4
Severity: serious
vzquota needs kernel support, specifically the "vz" patches. Debian
hasn't shipped those in a long time. By now it appears upstream
development has moved back behind more closed doors, and it's
unlikely we'll see anything for bullseye.

Version: 20041012-10
Severity: grave
Our isakmpd sources are by now 16 years old. The sources in OpenBSD
have in the meantime seen a number of improvements and security
fixes, plus protocol fixes.
Shipping such an old version with known security problems is a
disgrace to our users
Dear possibly libifp-interested people,
I've asked ftpmaster to remove libifp, because:
| It has not seen an upload for 9+ years, and is a support library for
| iRiver media players, which I haven't seen in years either.
If you are still interested in this software, please indicate your
interest
Dear autounit Maintainers,
do you think autounit is still useful in Debian?
I've filed an RM bug as #964476, because it does look quite dead.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,

There is a new upstream and a new release available:
