Dear all,
I want to inform you that within the next few days the
csplain
package as contained in texlive-lang-czechslovak will be removed from
Debian/unstable (and later on from Debian/testing).
The reason is that we waited now more than one (1) year that Petr fixes
only the license text and uploads to CTAN, as announced several times:

This is a sad step, but I don't see any other option.
Of course, if later uploads will make csplain again distributable we
will reinclude it into the Debian TeX Live packages.
Best wishes
