Bug Description
Remove from jaunty
Remove binaries and source
The packages included are (and rdepends):
mas-server (none)
mas-utils (none)
libmas-dev (none)
libmas0c2 (mas-server, mas-utils, libmas-dev)
Rationale:
These packages have stagnated for many years now:
Debian doesn't have them in any development or testing branches:

25881 mas-server 138 3 128 7 0 (David Schleef)
Also I believe the (finished) functionality has been completely replaced by pulseaudio.
So in summary, it is unmaintained, no longer going to be looked at in Debian, and has been superseded. I'm going to wait a few days before subscribing the archive team, for any objections.
Remove request ACKed.
mas has no rdepends (outside mas) and no rbuilddepends.
It FTBFS on i386 and amd64 since gutsy (the last upload).
The matching Debian removal bug is: #453874
Debian rationale: RM: mas -- RoQA; FTBFS; unmaintained; few users
