Yes, please remove it completely. It is incomplete and has unsolved issues which might be even harder to fix properly afterwards if the upload succeeds. I'll try to upload unclutter 8-22 (to experimental) before that NMU passes throught, but for that, I need your feedback first: Please check the master branch under https://salsa.debian.org/debian/unclutter and especially the commits I made after applying your NMU patch minus the unnecessary NMU stuff: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/unclutter/commits/master Main points: * Make /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter a slave alternative, too. * Rename /etc/default/unclutter to /etc/default/unclutter-classic. * Make debian/unclutter.install executable. (Might have been lost when you generated your patch as it clearly FTBFS else.) I'd appreciate if you could look over these changes and tell me if you agree (as we both should agree on at least the list of slave alternatives), have alternative suggestions or otherwise comments. Open issues and why I haven't uploaded the current state to experimental yet: * In the current setup, /etc/default/unclutter might need to be a slave alternative, too. Not sure, though. Thoughts on this are welcome! * /etc/default/unclutter and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter could be implementation-independent files, but then they need to be shipped either by both packages (which causes a file conflict) or we create some unclutter-common packages with just the common files between both implementations. Looks like the least complex implementation to me, but is probably also the one with the most coordination effort between the maintainers of both packages. (I suggest to maintain such a package together in git so that either maintainer can easily upload fixes.)
