Package: overkill
Version: 0.16-14
Severity: serious
Justification: RC security bug, unmaintained upstream, low popcon (20 votes)
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal

overkill seems like a possible candidate for removal from Debian:

* security-buggy (#549310, overflows a heap-allocated buffer when constructing
  outgoing network packets)
* coding style suggests that many more overflow vulnerabilities are likely
* declining popcon with only 20 votes
* no upstream release since 2001 despite security vulnerabilities

If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please just close this bug,
and do an upload to fix the issues in it. In this package's case, I think this
is likely to require becoming the (de facto) upstream maintainer.

If you don't think it's worth keeping, please send the following commands
to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nnnnnn with this bug's number:

severity nnnnnn normal
reassign nnnnnn ftp.debian.org
retitle nnnnnn RM: <packagename> -- RoM; <reasons>
thanks
