The residents of #debian-uk are pleased to announce that, in conjunction with our friendly FTP masters, dak-roulette has just been activated in cron on ftp-master.debian.org targetting unstable and no particular maintainer.
I enclose the documentation for your reference.

NAME
dak-roulette - play roulette with the Debian archive
SYNOPSIS
dak-roulette [options]
DESCRIPTION
dak-roulette plays roulette with the Debian archive, removing packages
at random under the correct conditions.
Following invocation, the 'gun' is loaded with a single bullet and
aimed at a randomly-chosen package. The gun is fired. If the bullet
finds its mark, the package is removed and the maintainer notified.
Various switches can influence the behaviour of dak-roulette.
OPTIONS
-f, --fill-gun
Fill the gun, leading to certain removal and the ensuing enter‐
tainment.
-q, --quiet
Do not notify the maintainer of the removed package. By default
a standard mail is sent.
-s suite, --suite=suite
Act on the specified suite, by default unstable.
--allow-important
Allow dak-roulette to remove packages with priority important
and lower from the archive. By default, only standard, optional
and extra packages are targets.
--allow-required
Allow dak-roulette to remove packages with priority required and
lower from the archive (implies --allow-important).
--pick-on=email
Limit the list of targets to those maintained by a particular
maintainer, identified by email.
-n, --miss
Deliberately miss the target, but print what would have happened
(dry run).
FILES
/etc/dak/roulette-notify.txt
Default message body to send to maintainers of removed packages.
NOTES
dak-roulette is best run from cron for maximum entertainment.
