[Bug 2130660] Re: Remove reform-tools and add to sync-blocklist

[Jeremy Bícha]

** Description changed:

  Please remove reform-tools from Ubuntu and add it to the sync blocklist.
  
  Its new binary packages, reform-desktop-minimal and reform-desktop-full,
  are not installable on Ubuntu.
  
  The packages are clearly intended for a Debian derivative, not an Ubuntu
  derivative. There may be useful parts of reform-tools for Ubuntu, but
  this would need someone to do the work to separate things better.
  
  This removal would be similar to how debian-edu, bfh-metapackages, and
  progress-linux-metapackages are also on the sync blocklist.
  
  Other Info
  ==========
  There are several other reform-* source packages that may not be useful for Ubuntu but their binary packages are installable and probably work as expected. Therefore, I don't see a need to remove them at this time.
+ 
+ $ reverse-depends src:reform-tools
+ $ reverse-depends -b src:reform-tools
+ No reverse dependencies found
