Source: libalogg1
Version: 1.3.7-1.1
Severity: serious

Hi,

I'm involved in the transition towards Allegro 4.4 [1] and libalogg1 currently 
FTBFS against Allegro 4.4, because we removed allegro-makedoc from 
liballegro-dev.

I'm wondering if we still need this package. It has no reverse dependencies in 
Debian and the upstream website doesn't exist anymore. Googling for it, I didn't
find a new upstream website or hints that libalogg is still used. Allegro 4.4 
is now a legacy library, that we keep for the existing games, Allegro 5 has its 
own
ogg support. Also there is a different ogg library, liblogg, bundled with 
Allegro 4.4 an maintained by the Allegro developers. We didn't package it 
(yet), because
we're not aware of it being needed.

If you are aware of any packages or important programs using libalogg, or if 
you don't agree with the removal for other reasons, please let me know and 
close this
bug report. Otherwise, do you agree with me reassigning the bug to 
ftp.debian.org to pursue the removal?

Best regards,
Tobias
