Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
please remove the following 2 binary packages from unstable:
Package: ia32-libs
Version: 21
Filename: pool/main/i/ia32-libs-tools/ia32-libs_21_amd64.deb
Package: ia32-libs-gtk
Version: 21
Filename: pool/main/i/ia32-libs-tools/ia32-libs-gtk_21_amd64.deb
Mark Hymers might (or might not) later reupload the ia32-libs and
ia32-libs-gtk source packages again but meanwhile people shouldn't
install the above anymore.
MfG
Goswin

Since 6 people have voted 1 first, the outcome is no longer in doubt,
so:
The Debian Technical Committee:
1. declines to override the ftp team decision to remove the
ia32-libs-tools package from the archive, finding insufficient technical
justification to warrant an override, and
2. reaffirms the ftp team's authority to exercise their own judgement in
deciding to remove packages from the archive, whenever this is done for
reasons consistent with the twin mandates to keep the archive operational
and to support the archive needs of the Debian Project.
The Committee further recommends:
3. that the ftp team recognize that it's important for maintainers to feel
empowered and in control of their packages, and therefore be willing to
provide, upon a request from any Debian Developer, an accounting of the
objective, measurable, technical conditions that a rejected package must
meet in order to enter the archive, and
4. that the petitioner and ia32-libs-tools package maintainer, Goswin von
Brederlow, solicit the help of an upload sponsor to approach the ftp team
in accordance with 3. above, so that any technical obstacles to this
package's reintroduction to the archive may be laid out for consideration.
is the resolution of this bug.
