Dear Per,
I think that it is a good suggestion. Perhaps you can go a bit further in
rewording the paragraph, which would still start with "Note that removals can
only be done for the unstable, experimental and stable distribution". Also,
maybe you can include a link to the Debian wiki or transfer more information
from there if there is a consensus with the idea.
