[Debichem-devel] state of kalzium package, and metapackage dependencies on it.

kalzium needs to be rebuilt for the time64 transition, but it has had
a FTBFS bug with no maintainer response for 4 months. The only reverse
dependencies seem to be a number of metapackages.

In particular, the kdeedu package is a key package and has a hard
dependency on kalzium. This means that it can't be autoremoved from
testing, making it a blocker the time64 transition.

Is there someone who can step up and fix kalzium? or should
it be dropped from the metapackages so it can be removed from testing?
