Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

I am the upstream author and the Debian package maintainer of evilvte.

I have not noticed bug #790168[1] until today, and I think it is time
to remove the package.

evilvte was one of the first terminal emulators to support libvte-2.90,
and could support gtk2/gtk3 via dlopen trick.

I still use evilvte as my daily terminal emulator, but I have no plan
to support libvte-2.91 and newer version of gtk3.

evilvte uses build-time configuration, so remove the pre-built package
will not harm those users of evilvte. :-P

Kind regards
