Severity: normal Package: its
The its package was retired from CRAN five years ago [1] upon the request of its original author (who is a friend), but I kept it in Debian because it was generally useful. However, as time and packaging standards move on (while the package remains frozen) it is getting a little further away from best practices. So in sum, it is time to remove it from Debian. Its sources will remain available at CRAN in its archive/ location [2]. It has no reverse dependencies apart from a meta package that can be updated easily.
