[Python-modules-team] Bug#815638: Mark python-pyfits and python3-pyfits as deprecated

[Ole Streicher]

Package: pyfits
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi Aurelien,

since the development of pyfits is stopped (see homepage), it may be 
useful to mention this in the package description so that new users are 
directed to astropy instead of installing pyfits. It may be useful to 
provide pyfits (as well as pywcs) in Debian for quite a while for 
compatibility reasons; however there is no reason for a new user to 
install it.

Best regards

Ole
