[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#948473: cain: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Source: cain
Severity: serious

Hello,
it seems to me there are several issues with this package:

* python2-only
* no upstream release since July 2012 (not even advertized on their HP)
* low popcon (but it's also probably part of a niche package)
* one of the only 2 reverse-dependency for python-scipy

It is my opinion we should remove this package from Debian; if i dont hear back
within a week with a good reason to keep this package around, i'll file for its
removal.

Regards,
Sandro
