I remove packages after I see breakage sitting around in th-test for a
long time and no one interested in fixing it.

Any dev breaking stuff should be aware of the consequences and take
action to minimize breakage.

I'm not a nanny or Mr. Fix-it for everything.

Sorry, but I'm sick of kernel modules being randomly dropped on ftp and
then forgotten by package authors. I end up maintaining antiquated junk
I have no way of testing, and until reently, we did ship not working
crap there (chnages to kernel compile flags helped finding those).

>From now on, if a kernel package does not build for new head kernel and
no obvious fix is available, I will drop such package on head.
If you want antique module, stick to old kernel.
