Due to the general lack of interest in this CGI script both from
upstream developers and Debian users, the "darcs-server" package is
deprecated for Lenny and will be removed once Lenny+1 becomes Testing.
I expect to move it into /usr/share/doc/darcs in the main "darcs"
binary package.  See http://bugs.debian.org/339770 for discussion.

(If you disagree with this plan, please send to the #339770 bug, not
this one.)

Since the darcs-server package doesn't appear to work with 5.10 anyway
without modification, should I "fast track" removing the darcs-server
package, so that it's not in Lenny?
