For the record, I've previously indicated that I consider lepton-eda a
complete replacement for geda-gaf in Debian.  It was forked some years
ago, is actively maintained, and still reads existing geda-gaf designs
and library files perfectly.  I contribute to lepton-eda upstream, and
actively maintain the lepton-eda package in Debian.

I do wonder if there's some action we can/should take when removing
geda-gaf to ease the transition for existing users of the package to
lepton-eda?  Perhaps replace the package content with dependency
information causing the replacement to be more or less automatic on
upgrades?  [shrug]
