There's one more blocker: src:yui3 build-depends on swftools to generate some
SWFs.
The only reverse dep is loggerhead-breezy and Jelmer confirmed that Loggerhead
doesn't
use the SWFs shipped in Yui3.
So what we need is an NMU on yui3, which drops the build dep on swftools and
strips
the SWFs from the "yui3" packages, then we're good to remove swftools.
I haven't found the time to do that for a while, but help is welcome :-)
Cheers,
Moritz
