Dear maintainers,

In the last update on pymvpa2, it sounded like upstream would soon have sorted 
Python 3 compatibility and the FTBFS bugs for the package would soon be fixed. 
However, there has been no upstream activity in the referenced PR 
https://github.com/PyMVPA/PyMVPA/pull/525 for many months.

What are the prospects for a fixed package in the buster release cycle? Given 
that it will have to go through NEW to gain the Python 3 module package in any 
case, are we at the stage where it should just be removed from Debian, perhaps 
to be reintroduced later when upstream work is completed?

(There's a cost to keeping buggy packages in Debian in that they occupy 
people's time when dealing with transitions or bug squashing. Even finding the 
packaging Vcs to see if there has been yet-to-be uploaded progress on these 
bugs is excessively difficult right now)
