Bug#821217: RM: sixpack -- RoQA; unmaintained; Depends on to-be-removed packages

[Bas Couwenberg]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove sixpack from Debian unstable to unblock the removal of
python-scientific.

python-scientific is incompatible with numpy 1.9 and hasn't seen any
upstream activity since 2014.

python-scientific is keeping the old netcdf (1:4.1.3-7.2) in unstable
which is causing testing migration problems for every new revising since
the transition in October 2015.

sixpack is unmaintained since 2011.

Kind Regards,

Bas
