The net effect of this is that some packages (two in QA that I'm
fretting about) are blocked because the ftp-masters haven't processed
the relevant remove requests for the sid archive.

I don't know what the correct course of action is here, but it's a
shame to have the release delayed on this account.  Is it possible for
the release managers for sarge to override this problem, and migrate
things to sarge even if the ftp-masters haven't cleaned up sid first?
