This is insufficient. Some packages just get removed because they are
old, useless, and unmaintained.
For example, I just removed my "ZyXel" package. I never used it and neither
did anyone else for all I can tell. It's old and I don't want to spend time
maintaining it, so I moved it to project/orphaned.
No other package will ever superceed it.
