We don't need that list anymore, because we just install all
changes-files (except out-of-date on an arch, and with the footnote of
libcrypt-cbc-perl which went into proposed-updates prior to the new way).
> (b) packages that should be removed,
I would consider to store them in comments as DELETE.$package -
first line the reason, second to last line
"remove package version arche[s]". Reason for putting them in there is
that we want to put them into the update announcement.

We could put them either into COMMENTS as well, or somewhere else - it
might be good to have them as part of COMMENTS to have that easier
included in the update preparation mail. Perhaps as manual.$package and
just one line reason, rest description what needs to be done.

Should be extracted from the COMMENTS/ACCEPTED.* - if second line begins
with "DSA-[0-9]+", the reason is taken from DSA, otherwise, the reason
is the second line verbatim. More lines are considered as comments. Ok?
> (f) a list of removals with reason,
Taken from the same file as (b)

We should make that a free-text section I think.
