What about 1.8-only packages? I only know of libparstree wich will
probably never be available for 1.9 [1]. Does it make sense to keep such
1.8-only packages around?

libparstree is required by libheckle which is used by rspec. My vague
plans for squeeze+1 were to drop libparstree/libheckle alltogether, if I
don't find a way to make them work with 1.9.1.
