The problem with most of these is they're source packages that generate debs too, and need to be fixed not too before the udebs are removed. > atari-fdisk This may be unused but I'm not sure. > atk1.0 > directfb > fontconfig > freetype > glib2.0 > gtk+2.0-directfb > libpng3 > pango1.0 > ttf-freefont > zlib These are part of the gtk frontend stuff, which is stalled. Probably best to leave them to avoid having to re-add them if someone works on that again, anyway the source packages build debs too. > dash This is currently unused, but has recently been useful, and we'll get rid of it eventually by modifying the source package. > dhcp > dhcp3 One of these is not used, but we'll keep them both in case we decide to change. > discover2-dataa The udeb from this package is obsolete and can be removed if it hasn't been already. > fbset AFAIK d-i does not use fbset-udeb. > fribidi Not yet used but hopefully we'll have BIDI support eventually. > jfsutils We don't currently use this package, but it can remain in case someone wants to add the UI support for creating jfs filesystems. > kernel-patch-2.4.19-mips AFAIK we're using the linux-kernel-di system for the mips kernel udebs now, do the udebs procuded by this package are not needed.
