[Debichem-devel] Bug#956260: bkchem: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: bkchem
Severity: serious
Tags: bullseye, sid

Hello,
i think this pacakge should be removed from debian:


* python2-only
* dead upstream (last release in 2010)
* relatively low pop-con
* keeps in the archive at least 1 package that could be removed if we remove
  bkchem

if I dont receive within week a good reason to keep this pacakge in the archive,
i'll file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
