Please remove packparser binaries from lucid

[Joel Ebel]

pacparser and python-pacparser depend on libmozjs0d. That package is no longer available because it was built from the xulrunner source, which was removed as a part of the python2.5 dependent package removal.

libpacparser1, libpacparser1-dev, python-pacparser are unsupportable and should be removed. They have no rdepends or reverse build-depends.

[Andrew Pollock (apollock)]

I'm working with upstream to try and address the build dependency. Is it possible to retain pacparser in Lucid, and fix the build failure with an SRU after Lucid releases?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Yes it is. Binaries should still be removed for now.
