[Bug 1062395] [NEW] RM: checkmp3 -- ROM; dead upstream, outdated, better alternatives in archive

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/673319:

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hello,

Please remove the checkmp3 package.  It has not seen a new release since 2000,
and therefore has problems with "newer" features that are standard today (VBR
files, id3v2 tags, etc.); even if used only with older files, there are
incomplete and likely buggy checks in the code.  Better options in the archive
include mp3check and mp3diags.
