Please remove Pysdm from Quantal: dead upstream, buggy

[YannUbuntu]

please remove Pysdm from Ubuntu repositories. It is obsolete (not updated since June 2006 !!), buggy (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pysdm) , doesn't handle UUIDs (which is now fstab standard in all supported Ubuntu versions !!!) and it has already been removed from Debian repositories.

- which release to remove it from: Quantal
- whether to remove both the source package and all binary packages: both
- a rationale for why they should be removed: obsolete (does not comply UUID standard, abandoned since 2006)
- confirmation that the binary packages have no rdepends (no other package depends on them): confirmed

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
