let's remove flightgear/simgear from testing



Hi,

I propose that we remove the flightgear, simgear and probably associated 
packages fgfs-base and fgrun from wheezy, because they have RC bugs and there 
seems to be no concrete indication that this will be resolved anytime soon. 
This is based on the following observations.

Security issues have been reported against the packages (#669024, #669025) on 
16 April which have not seen any maintainer reponse since. The adding patches 
over three weeks ago to the bugs hasn't changed that either.

The current package versions in unstable are of a different branch than those 
in testing, and fail to build for months, whithout observable maintainer 
reaction (#690005).

Add to that that the packages currenly in wheezy are NMU's of up to three 
iterations, and I conclude that it may be better to not release them with 
wheezy.


Cheers,
Thijs
