Bug#198449: Orphaned packages (part 1): obsolete



Package: ftp.debian.org

So, there didn't appear to be anybody willing to defend these packages
on debian-qa[0]. Please remove them from sid; they're all orphaned and
obsolete.

> agsatellite
>  - installer for the non-free audiogalaxy satellite; with audiogalaxy

> fags
> openag
>  - free clients for the dead audiogalaxy network, thusly of no use;
>    abandoned upstream
> kernel-image-2.2.20-udma100-ext3-i386
> kernel-patch-2.2.18-openwall
>  - obsolete 2.2 kernels

> libiniconf-perl
>  - replaced by libconfig-inifiles-perl
> saml
>  - orphaned since last september, wnpp bug says:
