I have no clue what nana is or how to use it properly. Some of the
scripts it installs fail to find stuff ... already in the package
currently in wheezy, and I'm not going to fix this. The examples fail to
compile. Not fixing this either. Maybe this intentional. I probably
spent more time with nana than anybody else in the last 5 years :-)
That said, the nana package I want to get into p-u fulfills its purpose:
it can be removed :-)

PS: Is there a way to get rid of obsolete crap during distupgrades? I'm
thinking mainly about packages that have no successor and no package
conflicting with it or some dependency going away that would force the
removal of this obsolete crap. Otherwise such a package will bitrot
forever until it becomes a time bomb that once someone notices it some
day where it explodes on removal.
