Proposed removal of packages with long-standing FTBFS failures

Fri Sep 5 16:09:29 UTC 2008

> The following 90 packages have had FTBFS (Fails to Build From Source)
> failures for several months, some as far back as February 2008.
>
> There are several "trivial" failures which could be addressed easily.
> 8 fail due to unpackaged files

I JUST took over lilypond, and have been banging my head against an
mftrace error for a few days.  If anyone has time, could you take a peek
and see if I'm missing something obvious?  If I get it built, I can close
several other bugs for lilypond.. . .
