Bug Description

Binary package hint: i855-crt

i855-crt can be dropped from the archive.

This package was a ubuntu X package and is still in main, but has long since become obsolete (last update was in 2004).

It's functionality has been superseded by xrandr and the newer -intel driver, so it is no longer needed, and in fact no longer is compatible with current X, and has no maintainer. There is no reason for it to be in main (nor any reason for it to be in Ubuntu at all.)
