Re: Removing gtksee package

 The package is in a fairly good state but has some annoying 
 bugs [1]. So I played a bit with gqview which seems be a 
 good replacement. It has all features gtksee has and a bit 
 more.

Would it be possible to add a wraper for gqview that translates the
gtkse options to the respective gqview option so gqview can completely
replace gtksee?

You could add an

echo 2 Warning: gtksee is orphaned, use gqview instead

to get people to change.

Just an idea,
Goswin

Upstream dead, a few annoying bugs, replacements available in Debian.

I think quite a clear case.  Since it still works, I would not do the 
wrapper thing Goswin suggested: the people who are not affected by the bugs 
just go on using gqview, the ones who are annoyed will just look for 
another image viewer.

~$ apt-cache search image viewer | wc -l
44

(that list contains a few strange entries, but you'll still have 10 or more 
to chose.)
