Bug Description

Tagua currently uses the libkdegames API for its core game board rendering. With KDE 4.9, libkdegames has undergone massive API changes which are source-incompatible with tagua, making it fail rebuild tests. Furthermore, Tagua upstream has not made an upstream release since 2007. I did a bit of research, and it seems that Tagua was replaced by a version written in Ruby called "Kaya", not to be confused with the programming language of the same name. (Unfortunate for anybody wanting to package it...)

There are no Ubuntu changes to this package, and it is maintained entirely in Debian, but with Wheezy's freeze coming soon it is unlikely that the KDE 4.9 upgrade will happen within the Wheezy release cycle. As it is currently unbuildable and by extension unmaintainable, for the time being, it would make sense to drop the package and blacklist it from being synced from Debian.
