Possible reasons to remove a package 
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/removals
2. Incompatible with upstream versions
3. Alternatives available
4. No maintainer upload in the last years
6. Amin Bandali, Maintainer MIA

The maintainer, Savoir-faire Linux, of the upstream Jami project, has 
had bug reports because of the packaging here.

There is currently no maintainer for the Jami package in the unstable 
distribution, indicating that the package either no longer exists or was 
never properly maintained. Alexandre Viau has written that he is no 
longer a maintainer for Jami in Debian. The last known maintainer was 
the Debian VoIP Team, but they have not been actively maintaining the 
package, and the package has been removed from Debian (trixie) 
repositories due to being outdated, unmaintained, and incompatible with 
upstream versions.

As a result, users are advised to install Jami directly from the 
official Jami repositories rather than using the Debian package, as the 
Debian version is no longer reliable for communication with current 
upstream releases. The official Jami documentation, 
https://docs.jami.net/setup/debian.html, provides instructions for 
installing Jami on Debian systems via their own repositories, which are 
updated more frequently and align with the latest upstream developments.
The current version of PureOS is based on bullseye (oldoldstable), and 
the next version of PureOS will be based on bookworm (oldstable).

So please remove jami, jami-daemon, jami-daemon-dbgsym, jami-dbgsym 
packages from bullseye (oldoldstable), bookworm (oldstable), sid 
(unstable), and 
experimental. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=jami

Please note that Jami has already been removed from the current stable 
release, Debian version 13, codenamed Trixie.

Thank you
