[Pkg-samba-maint] Removing the openchange package

[Jelmer Vernooij]

The openchange package in Debian is currently not compatible with samba 4.2.
There are a couple of other problems with it as well - e.g. setup
automation, and the installation of the Python support code are
not yet handled.

OpenChange in Debian is currently unmaintained - I filed a RFA a while
ago.

This means that once samba 4.2 makes it into unstable, openchange will
become uninstallable, in which case I will request its removal from
unstable and the packages that depend on it - namely, evolution-mapi.

If anybody is interested in taking over openchange, please let me know
or follow up on the RFA: https://bugs.debian.org/784938

Once the package gets removed, it should be easy to get it re-added -
provided we somebody to take care of it, of course.

Cheers,

Jelmer
