Dear Maintainer,

I am wondering, why deborphan is in bookworm, but not in trixie and not in forky. But it is in sid again.
Please note, that bookworm and sid got the same version got the same version, so I see no reason, why it should
not be in trixie, too.

In the past from time to time, I discovered other packages with the same behaviour as with deborphan: existent in
oldstable, gone in stable, but exitent in testing or unstable for no clear reasons.

Maybe you could enlighten me?

Best regards

Hans

deborphan does NOT exist in unstable.

Hope that clears it up.

Best,
