Bug#970403: RM: linpsk -- ROM; dead upstream; alternatives in debian

thanks

Hi Sean,

This was discussed in the amateur radio packaging team. There is better
software. The popcon is influenced by inclusion in the blend
metapackages and does not reflect actual usage.

Thanks,
Iain.

It has a popcon of 95 and it's been around for a while; people might be
using it successfully.  Is there any reason to think it doesn't work?

Hi,

Please remove linpsk from unstable. The upstream is gone since 2013 and
we have alternatives in Debian already, e.g. fldigi.

Thanks,
Iain.
