Bug Description
There are a bunch of old, neglected Squeak packages in Ubuntu, and I believe that they are superceded by squeak-vm, which we pull in from Debian. They were last touched in 2008. I'll add them as bug tasks.
affects: | squeak-vm (Ubuntu) → squeak-image3.9 (Ubuntu) |

Not quite. "squeak-vm" provides the Squeak Virtual Machine needed to execute Squeak programs. This is the only arch-dependent squeak package, containing an executable.
The packages you list are templates for Squeak programs. They are cross-arch and depend on squeak-vm to actually run.
These are old packages indeed, and newer ones should be made. But before that we shouldn't remove them. Possibly we don't need to remove them at all since they can live side-by-side with newer squeak packages. But that's a decision to make once there are newer squeak packages.
