Dear maintainer:

Would be possible to get rid of gcc-3.3 in stretch?

We don't have gcc-5 anymore in stretch, so it would be really strange
that we still need gcc-3.3 (even if it's only the source) which is a
lot older.

If we really need gcc-3.3 in stretch, please downgrade and document
the reason here, so that it serves as documentation.

Thanks.

Why would I need to justify package presence in a serious RC bug? Wat?

It only builds libstdc++5. It's not even a full compiler. That's for compatibility with old binaries.

Kind regards
