I fixed this some time ago for Slackware.

Hi,
We are considering removing the following packages from testing as they
have unfixed RC bugs filed against them. The packages can be found in
the attached dd-list. The bugs that put them on this list can be found
in the removals.txt file (also attached) just above the package name.
The packages have been selected based on the following criteria:
- - The package had at least one RC bug without activity for the past
14 days.
- - If a bug is assigned to multiple packages, both packages will be
affected.
- - The RC bug affects both unstable and testing.
- - The affected package does not have any reverse dependencies in
testing.
These tools[1] are rather new and therefore we have randomly chosen
about 30 packages from the originally generated list. These packages
were manually verified to fit the criteria listed above.
If the relevant RC bugs in the affected packages are not dealt with
before the 27th of May., the packages will be removed from testing. Note
that "dealt with" may also include downgrading a severity-inflated bug
or fixing affected versions in the BTS.
Note, this email has been BCC'ed to the respective
*@packages.qa.debian.org emails.
Thanks,
Niels (on behalf of the Release Team)
