Packages to consider removing from testing
libcache-cache-perl: See bug 215107; the (new) maintainer apparently
does not want it in testing until he fixes it. Yet it is already in
testing....
kernel-image-2.4.18-i386bf: Boot-floppies kernel image. Boot-floppies
won't be in sarge.
iraf: Three serious policy violations. (223543, 223532, 218793).
Apparently, these are hard to fix. Meanwhile, maintainership is
changing. Sure, these might be fixed before sarge releases, but it can
always go back into 'testing' then. :-)
netsaint-nrpe: Doesn't work with nagios (new netsaint) and old netsaint
has been removed from unstable (as of October). If it gets fixed to
work with nagios, it can always go back in.
netsaint-plugins: Four RC bugs: two FTBFS, one post-installation script
failure, netsaint-plugins-ldap can't connect to slapd 2.1. Oh, yeah,
and the newest of these bugs is from June. The maintainer is very busy
(has way too many packages), but this is still not OK for release.
Again, if it gets fixed, it can always go back in.
orp: Crashes on startup (!) and doesn't compile with current glibc (!).
Bugs from January and March. Oh, and it's got older (non-RC) bugs too.
Definitely not releasable material.
rocks-n-diamonds: Copyright problems. Didn't I mention this one before?
Current version may not be distributable, so definitely shouldn't be
released.
