The 4.0 release is from 2011 and obsolete. The package is orphaned since
2 years:

docvert (4.0-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Orphan this package

 -- Francois Marier <franc...@debian.org>  Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:12:48 +1200

and subsequently the last uploads were QA uploads.

There have been many releases since then, see
http://static.holloway.co.nz/docvert/news.html, especially the 6.0
(I filed 751577) which switched to python3 (and thus fixes 707340).

But given that it's orphaned I don't see much chance in it - if someone
cared (s)he can reintroduce it.
I think we should just removed it and the last uploader/QA agrees:

15:31 < _rene_> taffit_sud: ping
15:52 < _rene_> taffit_sud: sent mail
16:15 < taffit> _rene_: can’t remember right now why I took care of the last 
                docvert upload ;)
16:17 < _rene_> you didn't, you just tagged it + fixed-upstream ;)
16:17 < _rene_> ah, actually you did
16:17 < _rene_> my bad
16:18 < _rene_>  * Transition towards Apache 2.4 (Closes: #669763)
16:18 < _rene_> was the reason :)
16:18 -zwiebelbot:#debian-qa- [Debian#669763: docvert: transition towards 
          Apache 2.4]
16:18  * _rene_ actually would simply suggest RM'ing it
16:18 < _rene_> just upgrading 707340 to important :)
16:21 < taffit> Ho, I think the actual reason was the switch to php-pclzip, no 
                objection to the RM.
16:22 < _rene_> will you file it or should I?
16:23 < taffit> please do
16:23 < _rene_> ok
16:23 < taffit> thanks

Regards,

Rene
