Looking at bug #1066196 (Typo in package description eigen2-doc)

we discovered that eigen2 has been removed in Debian in 2014 and
replaced with eigen3 (or Wrapper to it).

Apart from the the fact that unmaintained packages may/can initiate
security-holes we don't see a reason why it should be kept in newer
versions of Ubuntu.

Further details see comments #4, 5 in mentioned bug #1066196

Some additional informations:

Thanks in advance
