Neither is the case with kaffeine in mind. It's not a lib, dependencies are not too tight, and it's already recompiled for c2a in Sid and could be pushed to testing with the rest of whatever when that's due. And I seriously hope they do not remove packages because of one unconfirmed bug with status grave (#336306). Anyway, I hereby ask the maintainer for the reason of the removal and after all, _he_ should know. I'd like to have some insight about the decisions that lead to package removal far before a new version drops down and even farther from a release. HS
