What does package removal cost?

That’s the main reason why I usually keep packages around for a few
months after getting them removed from unstable.

… And months become years… I’ll try and take care of the removal from
unstable of those package, but don’t know when, so no objection if
you’re quicker.
I welcome your initiative: I didn’t feel like putting too much cost on
people on top of hardware when keeping packages around. The little
“economy” I was hoping for (no NEW handling if the package gets
reintroduced) is not really worth it IMHO. Thanks for raising the issue
publicly.
