The auto-removals (from testing) will not kick in, because mongodb is a key
package. You'll need to file RC bugs against the rdeps. It's probably best to
make those bugs block this bug, to allow easy tracking.
For reference, the current output for dak rm -Rn -s testing mongodb is
Checking reverse dependencies...

Please note that some of these are also key packages with rdeps that might
need to be updated.
Thanks,
