Bug Description

Package sawfish-xmms is unavailable, although it's most probably the sole reason for most people to want to install the rep-xmms package

As per the rep-xmms package's description, its main purpose is that it's the backend for sawfish-xmms. But for some reason, sawfish-xmms isn't in the universe. Could it be added please? (Failing that, perhaps rep-xmms should be removed, too?)

/usr/share/doc/rep-xmms/README mentions 'xmms.command as a "more useful" way to invoke rep-xmms; but this is provided by sawfish-xmms, not by rep-xmms. (It's not clear to me why these are two separate packages anyway.)

sawfish-xmms is provided by rep-xmms source packages and builds fine here including the deb and installs locally. I am trying to understand why sawfish-xmms isn't in the archive.
