Dear FTP Masters

Given that,

- 'amp' has now been for ~1 month on the Numpy 2.x transition tracker
  without anyone taking action.
  https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/numpy2.html

- it has been removed from testing since 2024-04-20

- it is one of the two last packages requiring "Nose";
  an ancient testing system that was abadonned 10 years ago
  and never ported to Python3 and only kept alive
  with a lot of 2to3 trickery and duct tape (*)

- few people have the skills to debug a Fortran/Python/Numpy
  build

I ask for removal of this package from Unstable.

Greetings

Alexandre


* (the one other package is "elasticsearch-curator"
but to update this we need "python-elastic-transport"
to be approoved.)
