I asked dolby to make up lists for a testing repo cleanup that I wanted 
to do. I haven't heard from him yet. I guess he was just busy with the 
bugtracker. I was very busy as well. I posted a few comments below.

That exiv2 has a soname bump. All packages that needed a rebuilt 
(haven't check the bug tracker) are in 
testing as well. They've been there for a couple of months.
Neri: Can they be moved to extra?

openssh-5.0p1-1 is already in core. this can be removed from testing.

Paul and I forgot to start the signoff thread for it. It's now 
out-of-date.

has been signoffed. I asked for status in its signoff thread today.

Tom: are you still maintaining it? This is a couple of month old. The 
current package in unstable is even older. IMO, it should be removed if 
it's not actively maintained anymore. A couple months old svn package is 
pointless.

BTW, I was working on a gpm soname bump. The x86_64 packages are ready and 
I was planning to move them in testing tonight with the i686 ones to 
follow later tonight or tomorrow. At least one of the rebuilt package for 
gpm also depends on db. We might not want to mix the 2 soname bump and do 
the db rebuild when the gpm one will be removed from testing.  I was 
planning to keep the gpm in testing for a week or two to make sure I 
didn't miss any packages that needed to be rebuilt and because the rebuilt 
mc package will also have major changes/bug fixes.
