But I believe this is so far away from being usable that it is not worth waiting for. I think the next generation defrag can (and probably should anyway) go through NEW again when the time comes.

Bug#446691: defrag: should this package be removed?
Package: defrag Version: 0.73pjm1-8 Severity: serious User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: proposed-removal Hi, While reviewing some packages, your package came up as a possible candidate for removal from Debian, because: * 4 RC bugs, opened for a long time, with no resolution path in sight. * only really works with old ext2 filesystems. * dangerous with modern ext2/ext3 FS, without telling so (#396449). I think that it would be much better to remove it from Debian for now. There's no point in keeping it just to collect RC bugs. If upstream work happens, you can always re-upload it... If you think that it should be orphaned instead of being removed from Debian, please reply to this bug and tell so. If you agree, sending the following commands to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should do it (after replacing nn with this bug's number): severity nn normal reassign nn ftp.debian.org retitle nn RM: -- RoM; thanks For more information, see http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt If you disagree and want to continue to maintain this package, please just close this bug, preferably in an upload also fixing the other issues.
