[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#714758: Imaging experts opinion wanted: Should we keep ctn?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

the reasons to drop ctn (besides #724935 we have #714758 blocking some
transition) are bcoming stronger and stronger.  Any volunteer to give it
some chance and sorting out these issues or is it time for a ROM bug to
ftpmaster and let it RIP.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
