Yes I know that, ans as I said before, I think that these criteria are
not strict enough. IMO, only _obsolete_ [1] packages should be removed from
Debian, not jsut any package that happens to be orphaned but is
otherwise working perfectly fine. That would just be annoying our users
for the heck of it.
[1] i.e., packages that nobody (==0 users in popcon, not 20) uses,
packages that can be easily replaced with some other package,
or packages that are buggy or otherwise unusable. If that is
exactly what you mean by your point (d) above, fine with me, but
please put it explicitly in your list then.
