Hello,

The following packages are no longer dependencies of rainloop:

- node-classnames
- node-ifvisible.js
- node-progressjs
- node-simplestatemanager

They will be removed in the next upstream version. Until then, I
have backported the patches in version 1.11.1-2.

Please reject them from the NEW queue; they are unlikely to be
used by another package, so there's little reason to maintain them
in the Debian archive. This is unlikely to occur often, but as most
of rainloop's dependencies have been stalled in the NEW queue for
nearly 6 months, it seems best to remove as many as possible.

Going forward, is it preferred to create separate packages for each JS
dependency, or to bundle them in the main package for the application?
The former best fits Debian and pkg-javascript policy, but has caused
significant delays. Packages already exist in the archive using each
method.

Sincerely,
Daniel Ring
