Packages to remove from frozen
I am about to remove the following packages from potato, because they
have release-critical bugs that are not being fixed.
Please mail me if you know that a fix is on the way, or that the bug
is not release-critical.
The removals will be performed three days from now.
I will also notify each maintainer.
