Morevoer, it's quite ridiculous to focus on removing obsoleted package

IIRC, the obsoleted package are supposed to be removed on upload by youri.
They are only removed from the master package tree (task 2 in my list).
What was originally supposed to be a side-effect of adding an obsoletes
tag to a package (if foo is supposed to replace bar on end users
machines, there is no reason to let bar exist on the mirror, and this
will save an rm -f command to some sysadmin) is now largely perceived as
the dedicated way to manage mirror content (in order to remove bar from
mirrors, we have to obsoletes it somewhere). Which is a dangereous
practice, as illustrated this morning.
