That's simple: Maintain the package which is currently unmaintained. :-) > To avoid removing > python-mne from debian-science To clarify the terminology: python-mne is not removed from Debian Science. The package is removed from Debian testing to ensure that testing remains in an always releasable state. I expect mayavi2 to be fixed in a decent time frame before the next freeze which will be not before one year (to my naïve estimation). > one option is to remove it from depends > as mayavi2 is a weak dependency of python-mne. 95% of python-mne > works fine without mayavi. > > what do you think? I think the problem is the Build-Depends. If python-mne does not need this Build-Dependency than it should be removed in any case. Otherwise it might not harm to widen your scope and try to help fixing the problem in mayavi2. I honestly think that we should behave as better team players and not work on single packages only (which is a general statement and not directly addressed to you Alexandre). To prove my point I have made the according team metrics graph. See here for Debian Med http://blends.debian.net/liststats/maintainer_per_package_debian-med.png which could be better and Debian Science http://blends.debian.net/liststats/maintainer_per_package_debian-science.png which *should* be way better.
