Hello Lionel,

I am quite surprised to hear that. Your package even doesn't seem to close an
ITP bug. Could you please provide the link to your packaging sources?

The "killer" feature of suds-jurko those days may turn out to be that it tends
to be as unmaintained as the original suds. I am trying to contact (again) the
maintainer (Jurko) since some days, with no success so far[0].

Sorry, coordinating before uploading to NEW would have been much more
appropriate, not talking afterwards about update-alternatives.

Before commenting further I would like to hear about your motivations:

- Are you aware of the work in progress at [1]?
- Are you aware of the planning to prepare suds-jurko as a drop-in replacement
  for suds with coordinating to migrate also the project at pypi [2][3]?

Cheers,
Mathias
