    # Removal after 2022-05-01. Bug #830331.
    # Broken and upstream needs new maintainer.

    ----8<-------------------------------------------
    Reasoning:
    * maintainer-needed + open tickets
    * package needs many patches to get it (probably) working again
    * upstream does not maintain the source anymore. Issues and PRs remain open
    * some tickets let me assume, that the software is not usable anymore
    (for example TLS failure:
    https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/525)
    * If you love this package, contact upstream and become the new upstream maintainer
    https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/518
    * We cannot maintain such a complicate project by constantly patching it downstream
    * We can reintroduce this package any time when upstream is alive again
