Paul, as the Debian maintainer, could you please comment as to whether
or not kino is working in Debian and/or fixable?

Title:
  Request for kino package to be removed from ubuntu mirrors

Status in “kino” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was directed to the wiki page about removing packages
  (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PackageArchive#Removing_Packages)
  - but I'm not a dev, so ScottK (#kubuntu-devel @ freenode) suggested I
  file this as a bug.

  I would like to ask if Kino could possibly be removed from ubuntu
  mirrors prior to the release of 13.04, please.

  The problem with Kino at the present time is that it is broken, plain
  and simple.

  The UI plays video out two to three times faster than it should, there
  are issues with crashes, audio not functioning, etc.  The issue arises
  however, when you read Kino's bugtracker on sourceforge.net, and find
  out that the project is inactive, and Kino itself has been totally
  unmaintained by its developers since mid-2010.

  I don't think it serves us any good sending out a busted package,
  which will remain so.

  Thank you.
