Bug Description

Binary package hint: authtool

Removal Request for authtool and authtool-gtk in Intrepid for both source and binaries

Rational:
It's not being currently developed at all (https://code.launchpad.net/network-authentication) Last bzr changes 68 weeks ago
It is broken on a default install, since it's first release in Feisty, and not been updated since
It's functionality has been replaced by other packages (likewise-open, likewise-open-gui, ldap-auth-client, etc)

Summary: It's been superseded, it never worked out of the box, and it's not being developed

authtool's only reverse dependency is authtool-gtk
authtool-gtk has no reverse dependences
