Package: ftp.debian.org

Hi,

The package pdftk no longer builds on alpha [1], because gcj-4.2 is
buggy on that architecture (Bug#451858). The maintainer of gcj-4.2
does not seem to care about it and I have no access to an alpha at
the moment.

Because of this, pdftk cannot migrate to testing, as alpha is a
release architecture and as pdftk built fine on it before.

The annoying fact is that the version of pdftk in testing is more
RC-buggy (Bug#421341, Bug#385914, Bug#426314) than the one in unstable.

Therefore, as the maintainer of pdftk, I would like to drop pdftk alpha
support. Can you please remove the current *_alpha.deb from unstable,
so that pdftk will be able to migrate to testing? Thanks.

Cheers,

[1]
