It depends if you mean removed from testing (not included in the release) or removed from unstable (not to come back in the foreseen future). For the first kind an RC bug with a title that clearly states that the package is not fit for release will do.

I think it would be best to file a seperate removal bug against ftp.debian.org explaining why the package should be removed, what replacement packages exist etc. > And where is that documented? The developers' reference talks about > removal requests, but not about bug severities... The severity of a removal request is ignored AFAIK...
