ACK. It feels wrong to have in exeprimental a mix of orphaned packages and stuff under strong developement. IMHO it would be nice to aim at a release without oraphaned packages. Though with the discussion of a freeze in Dec. this might be ambious. One has to see where it produces complains from other devs and users when orphaned packages start to be missing on a larger scale. Would it make sense to create a list of orphaned packages and start with blocking them from entering testing (e.g. add a bug of RC priority) and subsequently remove them, including reverse deps, from testing? Or has someone already made such lists and played with something like this?
