Fair point, but the popcon is far from zero, and it would surely help existing users to keep it around. Going ahead and closing the bug. -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi Sean, It does still work (modulo #936008, which requires rewriting one script -- though the package is basically just two scripts). However, there's nothing it does that other packages don't do equally well or better; it could be orphaned and remain for another release or two, but I'm not convinced it's helping anyone trying to decide between all the results of "apt-cache search galler(y|ies)".
