Bug Description

    Please demote the sl-modem source and sl-modem-daemon to multiverse.

Rationale:
    The source package is orphaned in Debian and has not had an Ubuntu update since gutsy
    The current source package has 40 bugs between Debian and Ubuntu, including several patches
    The current source package FTBFS on intrepid
    None of the current Ubuntu Core Developers appear to be watching the package
    The restricted binary (sl-modem-daemon) has no rdepends or reverse recommends (or even reverse suggests) at all (including having none in main).

    While the package is of little interest, it does provide some features for users of supported hardware, and may be interesting to some MOTU to keep more up to date.

Oh, just to ease review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportSlModem documents the reason it is in restricted. While the use case remains, it may be less common due to improved infrastructure, and the maintenance considerations have changed considerably.
