Hi,

When some projects are being removed, does this mean that there's going
to be a community effort to remove the dependency on the clients? IMO,
it really should be done. I'm thinking about:

- congressclient
- qinlinclient
- searchlightclient
- karborclient

All of the above only reached Debian because they were dependencies of
other projects...

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand
