Anyways, it doesn't change the request for removal for me, as I have already thought about this before this bug was opened. I don't develop fireflier any more and nobody has showed any interest in taking up its development for a long time now. very few users and no time to work on it led me to the conclusion, that it will be better to have this package removed. Outdated unmaintained packages won't help debian. regards, Martin
