Package: libgtk2-sexy-perl
Severity: serious

Hi,

the package libgtk2-sexy-perl provides an interface to the
(somewhat deprecated) libsexy library. Since this package
has no reverse dependencies, I want to know whether it is
OK to remove this package; since I see no sense in shipping
deprecated API in Squeeze.

If you agree that the package shall be removed, please
reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org and retitle it as
stated at http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.html,
and set the priority to normal.

Regards,
Julian
