Thanks for your encouragement.

I actually found two Debian developers who have been very helpful and
were willing to sponsor the package. Unfortunately we then discovered
a copyright issue which makes it impossible to distribute GHDL in the
Debian archive. I'm still making unofficial GHDL Debian packages
available, but my efforts to get GHDL in the Debian archive are on hold.

So I agree that this packages does not belong on mentors.debian.net
right now. But I think the removal process could be more careful to
avoid losing track of work that has already been done.

Joris.
