Hi,

as announced in bug #1012103[1] I'm hereby asking for removal of this
package.  I do absolutely share the sentiment of Sascha Silbe that it is
a shame to see this package go.  However, if there is no commitment to
fix the issues of this package inside Debian it does not make any sense
to pretend it is maintained.

I'd be happy if someone educated in Java and sufficient time resources
might prove my assumption wrong, tag this bug `moreinfo` and fix bug
#1012103.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

Thank you for you response.  There is only

udd=> select source, build_depends from sources where release = 'sid' and build_depends like '%doclava-aosp%';
        source        |                                                                                              build_depends

Given that android-framework-23 builds three binary package there is


udd=> select distinct source, build_depends from sources where release = 'sid' and build_depends like '%android-sdk-platform-23%' or build_depends like  '%libandroid-23-java%' or build_depends like '%libandroid-uiautomator-23-java%' ;

  source  |                                                                                                                                                                                    build_depends

android-framework-23 and libscout are affected by the RC buggy
android-platform-external-doclava but I can't see any other broken
(Build-)Depends.  If android-platform-external-doclava is a *hard
Build-Depends (and can't be dropped) I guess these packages should be
removed as well.

And yes, I see their practical relevance and it would be great to have
some way to keep them.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
