So, I understand I have some time left.

Question is a bit if we need to pursue this effort, maybe it is time to 
remove libzeep from Debian?

libzeep is a swiss-army knife library to build web applications using 
C++. I've used it in many applications myself in the various jobs I had 
and it is used in quite a services we offer at among others the NKI. 
Yet, I seem to be the only one interested in building C++ web 
applications, even on github I get only 10 stars :'-(

So I removed the dependencies on libzeep in the few applications that 
still used it in Debian (tortoize and density-fitness). As far as I''m 
concerned, libzeep can safely be removed from Debian to reduce clutter.

But if others think it might be useful to keep, I'm okay with that.
