That's great, so it can be retried immediately after the removals.
Last time it took quite a while (and prodding) to get the removals
actioned upon by the ftp-masters, so I want to make their life as easy
as possible and issue an update now. Mupdf only took 11 minutes to
build, so shouldn't be a problem.

I saw it, that's why I didn't include monit.
In general, the only overrides should be things which are impeding the
(few) users we have (like monit), are known to be important
Depends/Build-Depends (I only removed leaf packages again), or are known
to be fixed shortly (like wesnoth-1.11).

We are not in a hurry, but getting the percentage up is certainly a
goal.
