No, absolutely not.  The release team does not remove individual binary
packages, this is the domain of the ftp team.

Nor is removing binaries from testing the issue -- the issue is that the old
binaries would need to be removed from *unstable* in order to allow the new
version of lilypond to propogate *from* unstable into testing.
