[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1080500: Should cpl-plugin-xshoo be removed from unstable?

[Ole Streicher]

Hi Helmut,

thanks for filing this bug. Indeed, cpl-plugin-xshoo is in a bad 
condition. Upstream however suggested that they could take over the bug 
a while ago, but this hasn't settled down yet. I would not maintain the 
package (as all other cpl-plugin-* packages) anymore in any case, and my 
plan is to ask for package removal when we come close to the first 
freeze and the package is not taken over.

Please keep it in unstable until then.

Best

Ole
