Thanks. So, the bts/pts will merge the package history to this new one, right?

#352539. I couldn't see any grave reason for the removal. I can say this
software works really well in a i386 unstable suite. There was no outstanding
bugs when it was removed. The only issue it's not updated since 2006. However,
it's a kind of very specific purpose software that usually doesn't need new
features.
