I realize of course that it was not you who removed gmime-2.2 from
debian, but do you know why this was done? Was it simply seen as too
old, or is there something else making it inappropriate to package?
Thanks,
Well, on the latest Ubuntu:

It's at 2.4+
I'm guessing that Ubuntu says "use what we use" and if not, then it
doesn't get it in. I can see several sides to that, and this is
straying into open source politics. Is there anything more tedious?
It's like reading bug reports "fix this", "no", "%$%@!", etc.
