I was about to create a patch for the package, but I discovered more
issues. Most notably, the Makefile in the example directory fails
because it cannot find a file "tei.xsl", which does not exist in the
source package or anywhere in Debian (main). Thus it seems the package
is not even functional.=20=20
Given that
- The package has 2 RC bugs without maintainer reaction, one of them for
more than 2 months
- and one normal without maintainer reaction (after it has been assigned
to passivetex), and no action at all for 2 years
- passivetex seems to have functionality problems (see above, and the
normal bug's log mentions that xmlto wants to switch away from
passivetex)
- No package Depends on it, and only one (xmlto, see above) Suggests it,
and one Recommends it (xmltex) it,
I suggest to remove the package from testing.
Regards, Frank
