Package: ftp.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: lua...@packages.debian.org, groo...@groolot.net

luakit was orphaned about 3 years ago [1]

It was removed from Testing 8 months ago because it depends on the
unmaintained webkitgtk.

There is an ITA/RFS bug in progress, but it has been in progress for 9
months and is still not ready for upload to Debian. (I apologize for
not helping more, but I'm not interested in being partially
responsible for this particular package.)

I think at some point we should just let the package be removed from
Debian so it doesn't block the webkitgtk removal. I also think that
web browsers need to be reasonably well-maintained in Debian or else
it is a disservice to our users. Therefore, I'm filing this removal
bug..
