Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: ftp.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: deborp...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:deborphan
Dear ftpmasters, please remove deborphan. It is stuck, featurewise, in a very old time and does not support many currently available dpkg features properly (multi-arch, versioned provides, etc). Given the C codebase and lack of any patches so far I do not see that deborphan will ever get these features, and we have other tools available that work, do not mess with dpkg internals and are actually maintained. Thanks, Chris
