-----notes----
Debian's bug #617588 requested removal of snes9x-gtk. As of Oneiric it is now gone after a long tenure.
Reasons from Debian:
"Please remove snes9x:
- Orphaned since 1.5 years
- Dead upstream
- Low popcon
- Non-free, free alternative exists (zsnes)[see snes9x license below]"
This project is very much not dead and has, in fact, had a release a few months ago. The project is well-maintained and integrates nicely in Ubuntu.
Since Debian seems unwilling to host this project it would be best for Ubuntu to house it.
