Hi,

I might remember that "python-future" was removed
_after_ "tahoe-lafs" re-enterred the archive and depending on python3-future
and before "tahoe-lafs" got fixed (thousands of line of future/six
code to trim out...)

So in theory well but in practice FTP Masters could remove packages
that are not completely untied if those packages annoy a lot of
people (or legal reasons)

---

python-oauth2client and unittest2 are now in the same situation.

Who should waste time on this ? Maintainer (...you) putting
one last time their seal-of-approval on something horribly
broken anyway of FTP Masters using some special
magic with extra care that breaks integrity of archive
(the build-depends is gone, not that package is rebuildable anyway)

Greetings
