src:julia has been FTBFS for long time. It's dependency llvm-9
has been removed for a while. Upgrading to newer version of
src:julia leads to a million embedded artifacts that requires
heavy patchword. Nobody has stepped forward and take over
this package. The package is not in bad shape. And should not
be kept in debian.

For future contributors who want to bring this back ...
please first investigate how many external files are needed
during the build through download / srccache. Then estimate
the amount of work.


Thank you for using reportbug

------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; NBS, FTBFS, package in bad shape, lack of maintainer ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to 1011382@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1011382 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org.
