Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:rcs
I intend to orphan the rcs package. It is in good shape from the Debian
perspective, however the software itself can now be considered legacy.
Unfortunately the upstream maintainer passed away a few months ago and
it's not clear that RCS will be picked up by someone else in the GNU
project.
I guess the package could also be removed along with its reverse
dependencies to no great loss to the project as a whole.
The package description is:
The Revision Control System (RCS) manages multiple
revisions of files. RCS automates the storing, retrieval,
logging, identification, and merging of revisions. RCS is
useful for text that is revised frequently, for example
programs, documentation, graphics, papers, and form letters.
.
Note: this package contains certain general-purpose commands
(such as merge or ident) which may used by other programs
installed on your system.
