Hi Andreas,

Are you really convinced we would not be better off dropping this
from Debian instead? mpg321 is stone-dead upstream (last commit about 12
years ago), alternatives with active upstream exist and are packaged.

Well, my motivation was a popcon (vote!) > 100 to think there are some
users. I'm aware that upstream is dead but we have other packages
with dead upstream in Debian with way less users (and way more effort
to fix some RC bug).

I perfectly get your point but I'd prefer some soft migration for the
users. For instance we might write down those alternatives inside
README.Debian (which would you recommend). We could even try some
NEWS.Debian warning users that this is dead and recommend something
else.

Thanks a lot for your comment
Andreas.
