Well, in this case, I think it should be killed.  Having prelink in the
distribution implies that it is expected that it should, which means
that all the other packages that have to support/work-around/etc.
prelink still have to have all those hacks.  Maintainers would still be
expected to fix problems and such.  It creates a burden on other
packages, just by being in the distribution.

If it doesn't appear to provide a significant benefit, and there's no
expectation of support (for some meaning of "support"), it should go
away.  IMHO this is one of the differences between a "distribution" and
a "random collection of packages".
