Bug#947757: pysparse: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Source: pysparse
Severity: serious

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

* python2 only, and there's already another `python3-sparse` from another src
* no upstream commits since 2013, https://sourceforge.net/p/pysparse/git/commit_browser
* no upstream releases since 2010

If i dont hear back within a week with a good reason to keep this package in
Debian, i'll file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
