[Debian-zh-dev] Bug#882675: RM: libofetion -- RoQA; Service provider stopped; RC-buggy; Upstream dead

Hi,

For the same reason as Bug#882673 [1], I'm requesting to remove package
libofetion from Debian archive.

Reasons:

* Upstream dead for more than 5 years;
* Popcon declining;
* RC-buggy (openssl 1.1 migration; see also Bug#859554)
* As a plugin library to provide IM integration into pidgin, its service 
provider, China Mobile, has stopped the old fetion service and heads to a new 
one focusing on enterprise use with different web API. This effectively made 
the library useless.

CC-ing chinese-developers list, package uploaders and original library author.

Regards,
Boyuan Yang
