Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

I believe that emacs-snapshot should not remain in the archive, for the
following reasons:

 1) It's been orphaned for 4 weeks and has not been adopted; since it's
    a (relatively) high-maintenance package it would have been adopted
    by now if someone was interested (I'm the former maintainer);

 2) A month-old CVS snapshot does more harm than good, it has bugs that
    have been fixed upstream long ago.

 3) The package contains GFDL'd documentation that needs to be split
    off, I think it would be better if the package went through NEW
    again.

It has no direct reverse deps; it also has one reverse build-dep which
shouldn't affect testing (see #403058).

Thanks,
