debtorrent has an RC bug unanswered by the maintainer for almost a year:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516708

The maintainer has uploaded no packages to unstable since lenny's release.
Its removal would require the removal of apt-transport-debtorrent as well.

Thanks,

-Kees

Ah, very cool.  I hadn't seen any comments on the bug, so I assumed there
was no activity on it.

I was just seeking to remove from testing, not a removal from the archive.

That's totally true, apt-cache rdepends was trying to trick me and was
showing me things that were Recommends as well.

That's fine for me; thanks for the update on debtorrent!
