I received the below email that my package, aplus-fsf, was removed from testing. Apparently that is due to the removal of gtk 1.2, but aplus-fsf has no direct dependency on gtk 1.2. I'm a little surprised at the removal - no bugs were filed, no lintian error that the package depended on an obsolete package, etc. Anyway... why exactly it was removed and what needs to happen to get it back into testing? Below the email are the relevant lines from http://release.debian.org/britney/hints/neilm.
