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.
