Bug#992193: RM: birdtray/1.5-1



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: rm

Hi!
As thunderbird is an animal more equal than others and gets to update to
major new upstream releases inside stable, related packages are likely to
get broken.  This happened over a year ago to birdtray.  Naturally, it
got updated upstream -- but that's a mix of support for new thunderbird
and unrelated new developments.

That made birdtray ineligible for a stable update as-is -- unless I argued
for uploading to a major new upstream, or did the work of unentangling
changes to somehow extract just the needed bits.  Neither has happened,
and by now we have Bullseye released.

Cf. #959927

Thus, let's get rid of birdtray/buster -- and hope this won't happen again.


Meow!
