Actually, Robert got me correctly. I have removed the build recipes from X2Go's Launchpad configuration _and_ remove the packages from the PPAs.
As a community project, we don't support non-support Linux distros. If anyone needs X2Go builds for old operating systems, there are two possibilities (at least).
I don't see a reason why we should remove the packages that were already built. Not providing new packages, not caring about dependency issues etc., not providing security fixes, ... for unsupported distributions/releases is one thing, but deleting what already was there? Do we really have a good reason to annoy users like that (space constraints on our servers or something?)?
Think of a user that is stuck with an unsupported distribution/release for some reason or other. Do you really want to punish that user for not keeping a local copy of the repository?
Doesn't sound like a smart move to me ...
If we're not limited by disk space or something similar, I would suggest moving such packages to a repo that is named <releasename>-unsupported or -outdated or -archive. At least for the time that the main OS repository is still available somewhere, too (think snapshots.debian.org).
