Please make sure that this situation is corrected first:

  boot-floppies |     3.0.22 |        stable | source
  boot-floppies |     3.0.23 |      unstable | source

Otherwise removing boot-floppies from unstable will mean that we'll be
shipping boot-floppies in woody without corresponding source. Bug
#225704 is also open about this.

Ccing Joey as stable release manager. Can it be done by hand without an
upload to woody-proposed-updates (which I guess would mean a new version
number, which would mean a rebuild on all architectures, which would
mean great pain)?

Cheers,
