Package: wondershaper
Version: 1.1a-12
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

it seems that virtually any usage of wondershaper results in errors:

```
# wondershaper eno1 200 200
Unknown qdisc "cbq", hence option "avpkt" is unparsable
Error: Qdisc "cbq" is classless.
Error: Qdisc "cbq" is classless.

```

It seems that this has been a known issue for at least half a year:
https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper/issues/100

It seems that the root cause is that wondershaper needs the CBQ net scheduler,
which has been removed from the Linux kernel in 2023-02-16:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/net/sched/sch_cbq.c?id=051d442098421c28c7951625652f61b1e15c4bd5

As such, this package is unusable to all users that use Linux Linux 6.3-rc1
(released around 2023-03-05) or later. (This might also affect earlier
versions, I didn't investigate too closely.)

Since wondershaper is orphaned, I suggest removing this package, but don't know
how that process works.

With regards,
Ben
