One remaining problem is the unmaintained nose package [...] done some work patching up nose
This question is just for my learning: Why is nose patched? Upstream nose is unmaintained for years.
I understand that you cannot drop nose from Debian in the current situation of a freeze in one months and so many dependencies.
But isn't there a Debian process/workflow to "warn" package maintainers about an upcoming package drop of one of there dependend packages to put some pressure into it? Looking into the list of over 200 packages I see this also as a chance to clean out some other unmaintained (and maybe not so important) packages from the Debian repo.
