Version: 0.0.20051227svn-16
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

CDBS is being slowly sunset

There are as of today two users left of
/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/gnumakefile.mk and
/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/gnustep.mk .

Please migrate to dh_gnusteap to
allow the removal of these CDBS plugins.


I do have noticed the disclairmer in d/rules.

# IMPORTANT: This package deliberately uses CDBS; please do not switch
# to modern dh.  We (Debian GNUstep team) need at least one CDBS-based
# library package under our control in order to test and improve the
# GNUstep cdbs rules.

As CDBS is being phased out I would consider it obsolete.
Do you agree ?


The other very last package is "sbjson".

I found these two packages using Debian Code Search:

Greetings

Alexandre
