I just filed this

  https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313388&group_id=100127&atid=413115

and FWIW there is also this bug which is relevant to deprecating REVU

  https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313345&group_id=100127&atid=413115

If there are any other features that debexpo should take from REVU then
please file requests for them.

Cheers,
