Objections? Anyone interested it helping there? What definition of "broken" are you using? Doesn't rebuild? segfaults on startup/other app specific bug? I personally would suggest: d) remove all of them that aren't required by other packages. and then all the remaining ones that are required by other packages should be taken over by those people who's packages need them. I think the problem with shipping them as orphans after a rebuild is that if users report bugs against them, there will be no one home. This will be non optimal. There won't be any maintainer thats using them and can upgrade or fix them. We don't know if they work right just by rebuilding them, and there wouldn't be anyone answering the bugs users report about them not working. Just my 2cents. kevin
