Hi,

Julien:

This is a bit rude (not your fault). AFAIK, we * haven't be notified
of this removal.

[*]: the pkg-kolab maintainers (no mention of it in #647221, for example)

Moritz:

in popcon. Let's just drop them along.

How do you know that they are unmaitained? kolab-cyrus-imapd is in a
bad shape, but this primarly comes from its parent package
(cyrus-imapd-2.2, now removed from tesing/unstable). Others are in
good shape.

There is some work ongoing in SVN to make the kolabd package depend on
the standard cyrus-imapd (with important configuration changes). It is
not uploaded yet because of lack of time (mainly from me, only active
maintainer).

Removal from testing is probably the right thing to do, but *with
notice*. Kolab has had a previous late removal from testing (just
before lenny), which is sad and counter-productive.
