I'm only disturbed since usually a package doesn't disapeare from
testing, it only doesn't get updated. So if the package were metioned in
update-excuses I would have known why, at least get an idea. Okay I know
now I've to look for the source package.
mkisofs_1.9.1 was in testing but was removed a few weeks ago. If a
package is removed there has to be some very good reasons, meaning don't
use this package anymore. Same holds for nictools-nop_1.3.1-1 and
nichtools-pci_1.3.1-1.
