[intrigeri]

Control: blocked 868398 by 868395

Hi,

Agreed. I've been meaning to drop libgnome2*-perl for some time,
ideally during the Buster cycle. Let's do it!

The version in the archive is a CVS (!) snapshot from 2005.
Maintained by the Debian QA group, low popcon (inst:74, vote: 14).
I say let's remove it.

Let's have a closer look on #868395 at what prevents us from removing
that one.

Dead upstream since years, and IMO we can very well live without yet
another screenshot program in the archive ⇒ I say let's remove it.

> * yarssr

The maintainer wrote "I’d rather drop it than patch it. So when it is
time to RM gnome-vfs, feel free to RM yarssr as well."
