Binary package hint: revtex

Removed from Debian a little over a month ago, here's the message from
Debian:

From: Moritz Muehlenhoff 
To: Debian Bug Tracking System 
Subject: RM: revtex -- RoQA; obsolete, unused
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 19:22:11 +0200

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove revtex:

Orphaned since a year, last maintainer upload in 2002

Even in 2002 the package has already been declared obsolete:

> This package is now obsolete, REVTeX 4, provided by
> the package tetex-extra should be used instead. This package is kept
> in order to provide backward compatibility (for older documents
> prepared with REVTeX 3.1 rather than REVTeX 4).
