Can these safely be removed from the repository?
None of these should be removed.
The *only* one which could possibly be discussed in this list is
sarge-support.
That's one.

That's two.
Why would removal from the modules package be ok and not removal from
the kernel package or the bootloader installer btw? What's special with
the modules package?

Not at all, that package is not in the archive, some people where sloppy
with not renaming the directory name in the repository apparently. Would
it be fine for me to rename the directory?
