xxms into universe?

Hello!

I'd like to propose moving xmms into universe.  There is no longer any 
upstream development[1] (and as such, security vulnerabilities aren't 
being fixed -- I created the most recent patch for the skin loader 
vuln).  Debian's package has been recently adopted, otherwise I'd be 
proposing dropping it from the repository totally.  :)

It is in main due to build-deps in "flac" and "kdeutils".  "flac" 
produces "xmms-flac" which is in universe, and "kdeutils" produces 
"superkaramba" which is in universe, and just uses xmms-dev as an option 
feature.

Additionally, when xmms is no longer in main, the only package still 
keeping gtk1.2 in main will be "evms-gui", if I'm reading correctly.

So, I'd like to propose the following changes:
- remove the "xmms-flac" package from "flac" (as well as the "xmms-dev" 
  build-dep).
- remove the "xmms-dev" build-dep from kdeutils (as well as the "xmms" 
  suggests from superkaramba).
- move xmms into universe

What do other people think about this?
