Just for the sake of completeness, I do approve the removal of Midori from Debian. Unfortunately it has become a very hard package to maintain, mostly because upstream is basically dead and the upstream maintainer apparently has abandoned the project. It has been a nice ride maintaining Midori, but now it is time to let it go.
