[Xastir] Fwd: xastir is marked for autoremoval from testing

[Tom Russo]

The issue referenced (957970) is precisely the one that led to the fixes
back in Feb, and predate 2.1.6.  So it sounds like they actually need to update
their package and try again, even though it's *claiming* that 2.1.6 doesn't
build.  If there are still issues, it would be good if they'd actually bring
them to our attention directly instead of just marking the package for removal.

I had even answered that issue on their issue tracker back in April.

Also, you had posted back in April about this very same issue 
(http://xastir.org/pipermail/xastir/2020-April/025317.html).  This Debian 
issue was in fact the reason we pushed out a 2.1.6 point release.  The gcc10
issues were fixed in Feb, but only available on the master branch until then.
The issues were trivial to fix.
