Package: python-irclib
Version: 0.4.8-1.1
Severity: serious

This package is an old version of the python-irc package. 

- The description is the same
- The Homepage field points to an old version of the homepage from the 
  python-irc package.
- They use the exact same class and method names

Given that the other package is actively maintained and this package hasn't
received a single maintainer upload since 2008, I suggest this package is 
dropped from Debian once all reverse depends are updated to use python-irc.

(Actually, I suspect the python-irc package has been created in an attempt to 
get a recent version of the software in Debian, without following the proper 
procedures for taking over an unmaintained package and having a transition for 
the changed API).
