Thanks - but I think that you are adding comments to the wrong bug (or
just a "tangencial" bug :-) )

The bug is that the package "gerris" is recommending a binary package
"gfsview" which is not available in unstable. You are comenting why the
"gfsview" is not in unstable, which to me is related but a different
issue.

I think that no "gfsview" binary package exists (there is
"gfsview-batch", "libgfsgl-dev" and "libgfsgl0t64" built from source
package gfsview).

I'll get in touch with you by email in a moment to make sure that we are
discussing the same.

In this bug: the bug is for "gerris" and I suggest to stop recommending
a package that does not exist (or recommend another one).
