thanks

This package is RC-buggy: on startup it hangs with

| Exception occured while loading model: NSTextFieldCell(instance)
|   does not recognize setEchosBullets:

This bug has been present since at least April 2009, and while easily
fixable, the fact that nobody bothered to report it is an indication
that this package is almost unused.

In addition, README in upstream's CVS says:

| NOTE:
| The savers Polyhedra.bproj, SporView.bproj, and Space2View.bproj were
| available from next-ftp.peak.org with code and source available.  I
| assume these are in the public domain.

Only Polyhedra.bproj is in the current Debian package but in any case,
the above notice is far from sufficient to render the relevant code
free.

The consensus within the GNUstep team is that it's best to remove
innerspace.app from the archive.
