The current version in stable is almost 2 years old. Bug#801796 has
been tracking the requests for new versions to be packaged. However,
the maintainer hasn't engaged. Upstream co-maintainer Chris Warrick
has made it clear in #801796 that they'd rather not have nikola in
Debian, than an ancient version that annoys people and causes them
spurious bug reports.

Given how nobody has put in any work on nikola in almost 2 years,
I think we should have the decency to remove the package from
stretch and sid before the release.

nikola has no reverse dependencies, so…
