New 't was the package maintainer
[link|http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=266139|http://bugs.debian.o...rt.cgi?bug=266139]

As the maintainer of the pks (PGP/GPG Public Key Server) I would like to request that it be removed from the archive.
My reasoning for this is that it is currently a buggy, unsupported implementation of a keyserver. It has difficulty with multiple subkeys (though at least doesn't mangle them like it used to). It doesn't support photoids (though I accept this is mainly cosmetic). Upstream is mostly dead (I speak as someone with commit access to cvs) and the
majority of keyserver hosts appear to be using other servers. I don't believe we should be releasing this as part of stable.
New Re: 't was the package maintainer

That explains that. Guess I'll have to look for a new keyserver package (or compile pks from source).

important facts of the universe."
Treatle nodded. "I hadn't looked at it like that," he said, "But you're
absolutely right. He's really pushed back the boundaries of ignorance."

The pursuit of balance can create imbalance because sometimes something is true.
