Package: wmcalc
Version: 0.3-2.2
Severity: serious
>From the package's README:
,----
| BUGS:
| -----
| Remember, they're just undocumented FEATURES!!!
|
| * The display can lose the last digit of a three character exponential
| notation number.
|
| * Due to an implementation fault, at every step of calculations, precision
| is lost, as the number is only as accurate at that displayed.
|
| * Order of operations: 1 + 2 * 5 = 15, not 11, as it should.
|
| * Changing sign when the display is blank results in "-0". Further entry
| yields "-05...," but this does not affect calculations.
|
`----
In particular the third item makes this unsuitable for a release. An
electronic calculator that does not correctly obey the order of
operations is not useful. It is harmful.

The only problem with removing this package from etch is that it already
exists in sarge (same upstream version). BTW, upstream seems to be MIA,
too (homepage gone).
