Not IMHO.  dpkg-dev's priority should be downgraded.

ppp-pam should be optional not standard.

Fixed in the latest boot-floppies (Still in Incoming).

To be removed from the archive.  (Thankfully; where else could you
find a package with binaries called `i' and `l'? Sheesh.)

Does anyone actually want this package?  It's been orphaned and libc5
*and* depending on elf-x11r6lib for an awfully long time now.  In fact
it's the last package in main to depend on elf-x11r6lib (for i386 at
least).  IMHO this is a good candidate for a move to project/orphaned.

This is a bug in your script; libnet-perl provides libnet.
