I'm pondering a new angle to this. Perhaps we don't even need to mess with dinstall. What would really suffice is a check in the testing scripts that disallows anything moving from unstable to testing if it depends on something marked obsolete.
This could be anything in oldlibs, and special overrides discussed and decided on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I need to talk to Anthony to see if this is possible in his scripts. Good thing is, this doesn't require any policy, doesn't keep the maintainer from doing things (although it will keep his package out of testing), and still controls all the problems I mentioned without keeping out legitimate instances that Herbert pointed out. I'm going to keep this bug open just temporarily until I get an outcome from this with aj.
