Re: Outdated leaf packages to be removed

attached is the output of a query against projectb. It shows

binary packages which used to build fine in the past, but which are

should switch to amd64) now.
The following packages are leaf packages, i.e. packages which are not
depended upon by other packages. I guess they are good to get
removed.
All packages in the attached list are regressions and should be
looked
at if possible.
Just few notes about some of the sources in the list:
e17
This was affected by a bug in edje, so it might be given back.
chocolate-doom
nettoe
Curiously, these are currently FTBFSing on i386, and our versions are
the
same as other architectures where they built.
kdesvn
This should build with subversion >= 1.7, so it might be given back.
lightspark
This one is affected by the fact that somehow (maybe the fakeroot chmod
race) the binaries built in llvm-toolchain-3.{2,3} are not executable,
so they cannot be exec'ed as they are.
qgo
This one switched to Qt5 and its QtMultimedia module, so it has OOD
binaries on few other architectures already.
For the record, this is the query I used:
Maybe a way to avoid the (few) cases where linux/i386 is lagging behind
(due to FTBFS) could be running it against amd64 as well, and not
considering the sources not appearing in both.
