Hi Michael, since bug #967865 ghemical: depends on deprecated libglade2 became serious now and bug #967392 ghemical: depends on deprecated GTK 2 will fire sooner or later while upstream has orphaned the package a long time ago I'm wondering whether we have the power inside Debian to take over upstream work and upgrade the packaging ourselves. Unfortunately I do not see any chance for this despite I'm personally miss this package also in Debian Med since it was used by microbiologists.
If you think we will not be able to maintain the package in the long run it might make sense to ask for removal of the package. Kind regards Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
