It appears that these were never officially part of Debian. Those
packages originated from ftp://folk.federated.com/pub/gd/DEB/potato
and http://www.gwydiondylan.org/downloading.phtml is what pointed
me there. It looks like you might be in good shape, though I'm
quite far from anything like a final say on this matter.
Sorry I didn't do more fact checking before posting previously.

Cheers,
Bill

I believe these are old libc5 packages.  The Gwydion team is
certainly not aware of any current Debian packaging activities,
certainly since they moved to 2.3.3/2.4pre1.

I'd be happy to be proved wrong -- but I can't find Dylan in the
potato or woody FTP archives, WNPP, bug tracking, or in our
mailing list entries.

Anyone know if this was orphaned?

Thanks,

I believe someone's already packaged Gwydion Dylan.
ii  gwydion-dylan  2.3.1-1A Dylan-to-C batch compiler.
ii  gwydion-dylan- 2.3.1-1Tools used for recompiling Gwydion Dylan.
ii  mindy  2.3.1-1A Dylan interpreter.

But hey, I'm glad someone else is interested in advanced languages.
