Packages are removed from mentors automatically after a period of
inactivity. It has been months since the last upload of syncterm so
probably you hit the limit.

 Great. I'm no DD so I can't sponsor your package but I can give
 comments nonetheless. So, I have following things I don't understand:
  - Is there specific need to list libncurses etc. dependencies in 
debian/control, should ${shlibs:Depends} take care of that? Or 
you want a very specific version? Ncurses is still fairly standard
stuff. 
Ok. i just add the depends that upstream say, i'm sure that can change
to ${shlibs:Depends} i will fix

  - The zmodem license is interesting as they say don't distributed
modifications - does a patch count as modification? As a sw 
developer I would say yes but someone else needs to clarify
that. Anyway, if they say no modifications and then we find 
urgent need to patch zmodem (say, a serious security flaw) then
the options are to remove zmodem or remove whole package? .. is
zmodem still in active development? I remember having used that
after x- and ymodem protocols went out of fashion some ~20 years ago :

I think that this code will never change anymore.

  - Good: watch file is present
Bad: according to uscan --report it points to no sw version
 
Yes im package a daily snapshoot until the mayor release 1.0 (soon) will
piblished.

 In addition to that, nothing big plugs my eye. Sw even builds, too bad
 my supramodem2400 is out of service so I can't really really try it
 out.
You can test syncterm and connect using the telnet protocol to many bbs
that are still online =)

thanks for your review, i will working on your suggests!
