Please remove ztex-ezusb completely from the distribution, including unstable. 
Reasons are
 * virtually no response from the community 
 * upstream makes it too easy with tarballs to be already productive
 * it is all Java, and the firmware/bitstream parts most interesting to build 
cannot be built since the FPGA tools are non-free, i.e. not even redistributable
 
There is a smallish Open Source FPGA community that I felt like attracting to 
Debian more. This needs more time.
