Actually, I also find:

address@hidden:/usr/local/tmp/lilypond$ apt-get build-dep --dry-run beast
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

so is Debian planning to ditch BEAST altogether, too?

I see the same for TeXmacs: depends on guile-1.8-dev.  And on
<URL:http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/sources.en.html> I read
"Please note that as of Oct. 2013, Guile 2.x is not supported; you will
need Guile 1.8."

Is all that going to get removed?  I thought TeXmacs had a reasonably
large user base, too.
