4 No, it's to remove the packages that have problems, that requires dependencies
5 that are badly broken (transcode 0.6 is a pain to manage, does not work with
6 GCC4 and it's not easily fixable, and upstream moved to transcode 1), that
7 requires maintenance and nobody can give it, and that might be replaced by
8 other programs with way less troubles...

10 If you want to maintain that, no need for it to be removed... atm it's going
11 to be unmaintained in the tree, full of problems, and requires us to not plan
12 of dropping transcode 0.6.
