Package: libogg-vorbis-perl
Version: 0.05.ds1-1+b1
Severity: important

Hi,

Niko suggested to remove this package as it is dead upstream, buggy and
alternatives exist (libogg-vorbis-decoder-perl) [1].  libogg-vorbis-perl
also has no rdeps in Debian.

If there are no objections, I will request removal from the archive in a
week or so.  I wonder if we should also request removal from testing or
is this still done automatically even during the freeze?

Regards,
Ansgar
