timeout was provided through the tct source package but was dropped
from the package in october 2009 as it became part of recent
coreutils, e.g. see #531787.
As coreutils 8.5-1 entered testing/squeeze the timeout package
shouldn't be needed anymore and we (the Debian forensic team) think
that it should be removed from testing as well.
thanks && regards,

and that already automatically happened; there is no timeout binary
package in testing, so I'm closing this bug. As a side note, the
Release Team (and britney) don't remove single binary packages from
testing; those only happen via propagation of the removal from unstable.
Looking back at the original removal, I see that the tct source package
in unstable (and, in fact, testing) still claims to build the timeout
binary package; this means that any NMU or binNMU of that package will
re-introduce the timeout binary package in to the archive. The correct
way of fixing the original issue would have been to upload a new tct
source package which dropped the binary package.

Adam
