Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

setiathome is a package for downloading and running [EMAIL PROTECTED] "classic",
which is dead.  It doesn't work now and will never work again.

Modern [EMAIL PROTECTED] is supported by the BOINC project, which is being 
packaged
for Debian and may hopefully get into the archive soon.  BOINC does
not require a separate download of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (doing this itself), making
this package unnecessary even in theory.

The maintainer has not commented on #215114 (the "moving to BOINC" bug)
despite its age.

I request that this useless piece of cruft be removed from the archive.
I maintain one of its reverse depends, and have just requested that it be
removed.

The other remaining one I noticed is wmsetimon; I believe that that is
also obsolete and nonfunctional and will file a bug if I confirm this
after checking it.
