Comment 1 for bug 1426959

First things first there are no raspbian specific customisations involved here.

This issue was patched by Debian for Wheezy but in Jessie they chose to remove the package instead.

Raspbian does not automatically follow removals from Debian so the last version that was in Debian jessie/sid

I see two options here, neither of them great.

1: I Could forward port the change from the wheezy package to the jessie package, the trouble is that would be giving a false indication of support, theres no way I can support a package like this going forward independently from Debian.
2: I could remove the package from raspbian jessie bringing us back into line with Debian but potentially leaving users who don't pay attention to the "obsolete and locally created packages" category in aptitude could be left with a broken tool.

Any thoughts on which is the least bad option? I'm inclined to go with the latter on the "stay as close to Debian as possible" principle.
