Hi Moritz, Thank you for your commitment in ensuring a certain quality standard in software distributed via Debian.
However, I'm a little disappointed that the israndom package got removed now. It worked pretty reliable for me, I love using it still and as far as I know there is no alternative to it in the Debian repositories. (big thanks to the former maintainer and developer, Rudi!) The only issue I was having with it was [1]. Which seems as far as I can tell to have been introduced via your removal request of libcomplearn-mod-lzmax and libcomplearn-mod-ppm back in Februrary/March 2011 [2],[3],[4] (at least installing these packages from Debian testing worked flawlessly for me). Could it be that libcomplearn-mod-lzmax and libcomplearn-mod-ppm were wrongly, accidentally marked as "Virtually unused"/"No revdeps", maybe because "israndom" (and "anycompress" from the complearn-tools package, too) was missing a "Suggests" (or maybe even a "Recommends") for them, making this relation less obvious? So my question is, could those three packages be readded to Debian unstable, with "israndom" (and complearn-tools) having a "Recommends" or "Suggests" for the libcomplearn-mod-* added as there aren't any issues with them (afaik) other than having no maintainer?
