Package: whirlpool
Version: 1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: grave bug, low popcon, alternatives exist
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal

whirlpool seems like a possible candidate for removal from Debian:

* RC-buggy (calculates wrong hashes for > 8k data, making it basically useless)
* low popcon (36 installations, 9 votes)
* alternatives exist (at least libcrypto++-utils, md5deep and jacksum)

If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please just close this bug,
and do an upload to fix the issues in it.

If you don't think it's worth keeping, please send the following commands
to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number:

severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: <packagename> -- RoM; <reasons>
thanks
