Dear Berry, Simon and the Games Team,
I digged a little bit into package attal and found that the homepage is
already converted into an irralevent page with hebrew contents. Googling found
that there's a SourceForge project but is also inactive since 2012.
As a result, I believe its upstream is already dead. Considering that there's
also no packaging activity in Debian for the last 9 years and it suffers from
Debian's Qt4 Removal, it should be eligible to package removal.
Berry, please consider sharing your idea about the future maintenance of attal
and attal-themes. I will try to submit an RM bug (RoQA) 31 days later if
there's no reply.
