Here are some more packages you might like to remove from testing.
"dak rm -R -n -s testing $package" says each group of packages is
self-contained for removal.
# FTBFS, library with no rdepends, 3 consecutive NMUs, I suggested RM:RoQA today
# popcon 40
liboggplay/0.2.1~git20091227-1.3
# css-mode is RC-buggy, html-helper-mode depends on it, RM:RoM from unstable
# popcon 599
css-mode/0.11-7
html-helper-mode/3.0.4kilo-2
# RC-buggy, last touched in 2011
# popcon 216
gwrite/0.5.1+hg20110815-1

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in cleanup up obsolete packages. However, removal
requests for obsolete packages should be files against ftp, not release. Also,
there should be a bug for each individual removal, not a single bug tracking a
number of them.
Removal of buggy packages with low popcon from testing happens automatically
with the auto-removals.
Also, so individual comments below.

The FTBFS bug was filed TODAY. Asking for a removal on the day the bug was
filed is not reasonable.

There is an ftp removal request for these already. Also they are on the
testing auto-removal list.

The RC bug was filed 10 days ago. Please give people some time.
Cheers,
