Description David Walser 2023-05-04 16:51:05 CEST 
As noted in this message from X.org:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/02/3

several of their packages have been retired and will not be maintained.

luit has a new upstream (for a while now) here:
http://invisible-island.net/luit/

which other distros including OpenSUSE, Gentoo, and Fedora have already switched to.  We need to do the same.

luit has no fixed maintainer, so assigning this change globally.
