Almost all of which have had bugs filed on them for a while.  I have 
talked to the libjsw maintainer (and the games team has even proposed 
fixes) but libjsw and searchandrescue have the same upstreams so they 
appear to be hesitant to adopt them.  gtalk was NMU'd by Moritz to 
remove the gtk package, unfortunately it doesn't seem to have migrated 
to testing.

Just a reminder that the status and some notes of almost all of these 
can be seen here:  http://wiki.debian.org/Gtk1.2ImlibGnome1Removals
