As mentioned on IRC; removing dns323-firmware-tools breaks d-i.  Also,
xdotool is just a successful armhf build away from disappearing from the
list.

For the record, you can ask dak to remove more than one package at the time:

"""
  $ dak rm -nR -s testing ruby1.8  dns323-firmware-tools \
     libfilesystem-ruby ruby-bdb ruby-nora

  ----------------------------------------------

  Checking reverse dependencies...
  # Broken Build-Depends:
  debian-installer: dns323-firmware-tools
  xdotool: ruby1.8

  Dependency problem found.
