The package should simply be split. This should be done in Experimental
to not block gdis in Sid.

I've asked Warren Delano last year or so to tag releases (again) and he
did so. Unfortunately he missed to do that for the 1.1 release. I will
ask him again. If he refuses tagging, we can drop the watch file.

One can checkout a specific revision from the subversion archive. No
need for this.

Back in these days Bryan Herger AFAIR started a new job. The development
of xdrawchem then got stalled. We can try to contact him and ask him
about the future of xdrawchem. It's also a possibility to contact the
fd.o distributions list to ask the package maintainers of other
distributions how to proceed. xdrawchem is still the only QT-based
structure editor.
