Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove python-cdb from unstable, testing and stable.

The software "cdb" at http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html has this "information for
distributors":

 | You may distribute unmodified copies of the cdb package.  Packages that need 
to
 | read cdb files should incorporate the necessary portions of the cdb library
 | rather than relying on an external cdb library.

The software "python-cdb" contains a modified copy of part of the software
"cdb".  The files cdb-0.75/cdb.c and python-cdb-0.34/src/cdb.c are different.
The file python-cdb-0.34/src/cdb.c contains these lines:

 | /* Public domain. */
 | /* Adapted from DJB's original cdb-0.75 package */

So the software "python-cdb" must not be distributed, so must not be in Debian.

Regards,

Bart Martens
