util-linux and syslinux need bugfixes in sarge. Both in the BTS for
ages. If you want to help NMU them (following NMU policy) or get the
maintainers to finaly do some work for us.

Anything else still buggy in sarge will most likely hit the delete
button unless there is a compelling argument to patch it, maintain
that patch for the next 2 years and do security tracking for it.
