What to do about old package left over from move to non-US?



Hi all. I have moved my package althea to non-US because it now supports SSL.
The old package, version 0.4.4a, is still in main. Once the new version is
installed into non-US, should I file a bug (what severity?) against
ftp.debian.org requesting the old version's removal? Or, should I keep it
around until security problems are found in it so that those people who don't
use non-US will see my package? I should mention, the package soon to be in
non-US can easily be compiled without SSL with a simple and short Makefile
change which I have documented in README.Debian and referred to in the package
description, so it is of use to people who can't use non-US.
