Stephan,

seriously, you are missing the point. Absolutely _no_one_ needs ROAR
audio with DECnet support except you and your buddy Patrick.

If you desperately need ROAR audio in cmus, then you can rebuild it
manually. Debian should not keep packages that are dead upstream,
especially when it comes to network libraries. There is _always_
the risk of these being the source of RC bugs.

I have fixed dozens of such packages during the Wheezy release
phase with NMU uploads because the original maintainer was MIA
and we really should try to avoid such problems in future releases.

Again, if you need ROAR audio in cmus, just rebuild the package
yourself. It's not magic and would save you and us a lot of time
and nerves.

Thanks,
Adrian
