I agree completely.  We stopped using CDBS within the team a long time
ago but the package was orphaned and its status was somewhat unclear.
So I didn't want to remove CDBS support for GNUstep packages entirely
at that point.

Now that its faith is certain we'll deal with the migration ASAP.
Thanks for your efforts.

Not under our umbrella but I can provide a patch if the SOGo
maintainers are busy.
