X-Debbugs-CC: tklau...@distanz.ch Hi Tobias,
It's been almost 10 years since your last upload and I think it's quite clear that package lfhex has a dead upstream and it will not be ported away from the deprecated Qt4. With projected Qt4 removal in Debian, I think package lfhex has to be removed eventually, ideally within the Bullseye cycle. Please let me know if you think it's okay to have it removed from Debian soon. If there's no response within 28 days, I will proceed to file the Removal request to Debian FTP Masters and have the package removed from Sid. Thanks and looking forward to your reply.
