Hi, (This is for the record, I am going public on some discussion
happened in private mails.)

Incorrect.  Rolf, you knew better! (1.4.13 did not have scim-bridge
source in scim anyway.)

No. scim-bridge was a separate package.  

Its removal is valid for stable. Look: 

  http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/scim-bridge.html

(Of course it happened before the release.  So it was in testing and
unstable when it was removed.)

scim-bridge exists only in oldstable.

Rolf disregarded my reminder to act if he wishes to keep scim in
releasable shape on this matter.  Upon his request, these communication
were in private mails.  (Aron, I think you also involved on this.
CCed.) If Rolf's lack of time is the persistent excuse, I do not think that
is right excuse to be the solo maintainer.

Also, See the last bug which triggered removal of scim-bridge:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604381

  (Rolf has a patch posted but he never uploaded package properly 
  to close this bug.  Then package removed and he does not even
  remember... sigh...)

Due to the innactivity by scim maintainers (despite my reminder in
private mail), this scim-bridge was removed.  

I think we should have discussed publicly in group and should not hide
the problem as the Debian Social Contract demands.  Then one unfortunate
situation over a maintainer did not cause this situation.

Osamu
