[Bug 1448240] [NEW] please drop Subsurface

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Sylvestre Ledru (sylvestre) has assigned this bug to you for subsurface in Ubuntu:

The Subsurface team is making current packages available from their PPA.
These packages don't follow the packaging guidelines as they include
forked libraries (libmarble and libdivecomputer). The changes in these
libraries have 0% chance of being accepted upstream, yet not using those
libraries gives inferior user experience.

The Subsurface package in Ubuntu is a few versions behind upstream (we
currently ship 4.4.1 and are planning for 4.5) - we have about 300 users
of our own 4.4.1 binaries from our PPA on various Ubuntu versions.

I'd appreciate if this package was dropped from Ubuntu to avoid end user
confusion.

This concerns all versions of Ubuntu, but we actively provide packages
for 14.04, 14.10, and 15.04
