This isn't any easier on anyone than just sending a single bug report
to ftp.debian.org saying "these packages are unsuitable for release",
and it's a lot more of a nuisance since those bugs have to be closed
individually.

Further, it's still not clear why these packages should be kept in sid,
if they aren't suitable for woody and no one is interested in maintaining
them.
