Orphaned, not in stable, rss-glx is better.

I think it's time to remove this.  Do you agree?

I intend to orphan the rsxs package. It has gone incredibly unmaintained 
upstream, and there is a much better alternative, rss-glx, which I plan 
to package instead. If this package is not adopted within a few months, 
I'll just have rss-glx replace it and remove the rsxs package from 
Debian.


The package description is:
 Really Slick XScreenSavers (rsxs) is an X11 port of the Really Slick
 Screensavers collection by Terry Welsh (http://www.reallyslick.com/).
 .
 The screensavers can either be run as stand-alone applications or get
 integrated into XScreenSaver's list of active screensavers.
 .
 rsxs contains the following eye-candy:
  * rs-plasma: Draws gooey colourful plasma stuff. Crank up the speed and
make it psychadelic!
  * rs-cyclone:Simulates tornadoes on your computer screen.
  * rs-fieldlines: A simulation of electric field lines between charged
particles. Zap!
  * rs-helios: Particles explode onto the screen through smooth Helion
surfaces.
  * rs-euphoria:   Don't look at this if you suffer from motion sickness.
  * rs-lattice:Fly through an infinite lattice of interlocking rings.
  * rs-skyrocket:  The mother of all fireworks screensavers.
 .
 For instructions for integrating this package into xscreensaver,
 please see /usr/share/doc/rsxs/README.Debian after installing this package.
