Control: affects -1 + src:laptop-detect
I have prepared a QA upload of laptop-detect to DELAYED/15 to orphan the
package.
This follows the guidance recently posted by the MIA team on
debian-project regarding packages maintained by Debian Contributors who
were active only for a relatively short period and have shown no Debian
activity for many years:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2026/07/msg00030.html
The maintainer (CCed) was active only during 2017 and, as far as I can
tell, has had no Debian activity since then. The package itself,
however, is still useful (its popularity has continued to grow and is
now close to 27,000 according to popcon), so removal does not appear
appropriate. Orphaning it instead should make its maintenance status
explicit and hopefully attract a new maintainer.
The upload has been sent to DELAYED/15 to provide ample opportunity for
the maintainer to object. If the maintainer responds and wishes to
continue maintaining the package, I will cancel the upload.
The package description is:
This package provides a simple shell script which attempts to determine
whether it is being run on a laptop (or similar portable machine). It is
mainly useful for installers.

Since my assumption that this package can be orphaned I'm hereby closing
this bug.
Kind regards
