Package: kterm
Version: 6.2.0-46.2
Severity: serious
Justification: QA query
Hi!
I believe that kterm is no longer suitable for inclusion in Debian, and thus
propose its removal. It lacks features considered basic for a terminal
emulator, such as UTF-8 support; its compatibility with terminal abilities
taken for granted these days is poor, and it has been dead upstream since
times immemorial (predating the first Debian version in 1996).
As the package is at least nominally maintained (well, no maintainer upload
since 2006...), I'm not supposed to RoQA it immediately. Thus, please tell
me whether it should be removed. If not, please close this bug, otherwise
I'll ask for removal before Buster freeze.
Meow!
