Bug Description

https:/
Request:
Please apply a retroactive SRU that will replace the Electrum binaries and such with 'dummy' packages. A related removal/blacklist request is linked above, and may be used as the supporting arguments for this request, as well as the prior precedent set by the Bitcoin source package blacklisting and retroactive 'dummyfication'.
Precedent:
There is prior precedent existing for such a retroactive 'nullification' of the package by replacing it with a dummy package within the 'bitcoin' source package. Refer to https:/
Implied Breakages with this SRU:
* The 'electrum' binary installed by the binaries from the repository *will no longer work* on systems when this SRU goes out.
* The 'python-electrum' binary installed by the binaries from the repository *will no longer work* on systems when this SRU goes out.
Alternatives to the Ubuntu Repositories:
* Upstream provides installation via either compiling from source tarballs from upstream, or via 'python pip'. This will, of course, keep the package updated when individuals use 'pip' in accordance with Upstream recommendations and guidelines for the installation and/or compiling of the program.
