There are no packages replacing those removed packages. Probably the
proper solution is to make the script smarter so that it depends only on
things that are in both testing and unstable (therefore not depending on
things likely to be removed from testing soon) and recommends/suggests
things that are only in unstable, which probably will migrate to testing
eventually.
