+1 on the removal. We (hyprland-team) basically renamed src:libudis86 to
src:udis86 for consistency with other source packages.

I'd assumed as per the documentation in [1] that src:libudis86 would
automatically be removed as all its binaries had been taken over by
src:udis86 and so didn't file this RM request. Has the situation
changed? Should I file RM requests for similarly superseded packages?
