As discussed elsewhere recently, the pgeasy source package has never
been in testing.
pgeasy | 1:3.0.1-2 | unstable | source
In testing the library in question was part of postgresql; removing that
obviously isn't an option. We need a later version of postgresql
instead.

That's a showstopper; we can't remove gnome-office. Wait until new
meta-gnome2 is in testing (which requires planner, which requires
postgresql) before suggesting this one.

Indeed: non-US isn't running at the moment, and I understand it'll
probably be removed in its entirety for sarge. A hint won't make any
difference here, and you should probably not bother reporting any more
suggested non-US removals from testing for the moment.

Agreed that this should be removed. Hint applied.

This has been removed from unstable, so should disappear from testing
tonight without the need for a hint.

I mentioned this to Steve some days back, but I figure he missed it.
Applied.

Ergo, no point looking at this; see above.

I'd been hoping not to have to remove this, but it seems too badly
broken at the moment; done.

Yes, and a security bug too. Done.

Agreed. Done.
I ran out of steam at this point, but thanks for these. I hope somebody
(perhaps me) will have time to look at the rest.
