Dear Nigel,

I suggest removing ppp-gatekeeper from Debian for the following reasons:

 * It accumulated one RC-bug:
   + #1039327 ppp-gatekeeper: ships sysv-init script without systemd unit
     Filed on 2023-06-23, RC status at 2025-10-15
 * It has very low usage according to popcon
   https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=ppp-gatekeeper&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
 * Your last upload was 11 years ago
 * Vcs is not featuring the changes from NMU 4 years ago

This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluatethe
RC-bug above.
 * If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
   whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.

 * Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.

 * If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.

Once the mentioned RC bugs has been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.

In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: ppp-gatekeeper -- RoM; rc-buggy
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:ppp-gatekeeper

Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.

    Control: tags -1 + wontfix


This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.


Kind regards
    Andreas.
