Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear ftp-masters,

please remove gtkextramm and its corresponding binary packages from
unstable. The library is not used by any program currently in the
archive (i.e. no rdepends). Although it does not directly depend
on Gtk 1.x (which is in oldlibs), this library provides widgets
for this outdated, and maybe soon to be removed version of Gtk.

It is, of course, abandoned upstream and the package's depends
are strange as it does not even depend on gtkextra, the library it
wraps.

New applications should not use the deprecated Gtk 1.x branch, so the
possibility that a future application might need this library is near
zero.

The maintainer, Bradley Bell, ACK'ed this request in private mail to me.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
Debian Developer
