  Another option which has been proposed in the past is to remove
  orphaned packages from testing. Here one could be really aggressive
  without too much woe (1 month?), since the packages will remain in
  unstable for a bit. Only, a case-by-case decision would be needed when
  there are depending packages involved...

  What do you think, would it be worthy?
