To make this more clear: the Stable Release Team is responsible for
preparing and accepting the (Old)Stable Point Releases which consist of
updating, adding and removing packages (and sometimes updating d-i). The
FTP Team is responsible for actually doing the (Old)Stable Point
Releases. To ease the work from the FTP Team removal bugs should be
filed against ftp.debian.org. To ease the work from the Stable Release
Team they should be contacted about removals from (old)stable on this
list...
