Bug#1148242: libwx-scintilla-perl: depends on unmaintained libwx-perl

[Simon McVittie]

Source: libwx-scintilla-perl
Version: 0.39-6
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: libwx-perl at packages.debian.org

While investigating the reverse-dependency tree of webkit2gtk for 
#1148038, I noticed that libwx-scintilla-perl depends on libwx-perl, but 
nothing in Debian depends on libwx-scintilla-perl:

>smcv at coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n libwx-scintilla-perl

As mentioned by the libwx-perl maintainer in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1054146#42, libwx-perl 
is basically unmaintained upstream, and it currently has a RC bug (FTBFS).

Is this package still useful, or would it be better to remove it so that 
developers no longer spend QA time on it?

Thanks,
