Bug Description

After updating from 10.10 amd64 to 11.04 beta 3 the packages cedet-contrib and cedet-common got uninstalled and reinstalling was not possible:
"Package 'cedet-common' has no installation candidate"
Manual installation using the debs from lauchpad helped. See question I asked here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cedet/+question/153597
Please check and make cedet-packages available in 11.04.

These packages are no longer available in Natty (see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cedet), which is not a bug, but this bug report could be considered a needs-packaging feature request for cedet to be re-added to Ubuntu. This will not happen in Natty (though it might become available through natty-backports), because the feature freeze is past, but perhaps it will be re-added in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.

I packaged cedet 1.0 for natty in my PPA, so if you like you can use that package:

As far as I understand, the Cedet stuff is included with emacs23 starting with version 23.2. My understanding is that packages which used to Depends: cedet (or other components from the cedet source package) need to be updated to Depends: emacs23 (>= 23.2) || old dependencies. Adding cedet back to the package archive doesn't make much sense (although if there is an active maintainer, it might be nice for people who want a newer version than the one included with emacs23, like we have for Gnus and some other packages which are similarly included with Emacs).
