Hi,

composite package builds fine and seems to have it's own users ... by popcon
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=composite

I am maintaining packages with lower popcon too ;)

I am very sorry that some hydrogen users are confused but I personally
don't think
it is reason strong enough to remove composite from debian archive

Thank you for reporting

best regards

mira
