Hi all,

~$ sudo cruft-remover --verbose find

           Package is no longer supported: it is no longer in the package archive. (It may also have been installed from an
           unofficial archive that is no longer available. In that case you may want to keep it.)

Even aptitude shows it as optional package

We dropped it because it seems it wasn't very used, and it never made into debian (and we try to reduce our delta with debian).

Based on the last response, I'm closing this bug report as Invalid.

Thanks
