Quoting Steve Langasek: "After discussing on IRC with Joey and other ion users, it seems that there isn't really much demand for ion3 in a stable release after all; those I've talked to who use ion3 all say they run testing or unstable on their desktops, and Joey notes that the ion3 upgrade path from sarge to etch isn't likely to be a smooth one anyway."
"So under the circumstances, it does seem reasonable to defer to upstream (and the former maintainer) on this point. I've tagged the ion3 package and its reverse-dependencies for removal from etch." This is quite unfortunate for me. I, for one, am using officially packaged Ion3 on current stable and intended to use Ion3 also in upcomming Etch. For me (* my 3 machines) and about half a dozen of my friends this will be a serious step back to Ion2 (scratchpad is a must). I can't be bothered to install all those development packages just to compile the curent versions - I'm just a user. As far as I recollect, neither I nor my friends did bother tuomov with questions or whatever. Can't you just rename the package to ice-on and print a big fat warning on the first startup not to bother tuomov with problems?
