Thanks David, Sean for the background! I wasn't planning on doing
something as dramatic as getting rid of the `emacs-goodies-el' binary
package yet, so maybe still keeping it until after Trixie? We may
announce its deprecating in `news' once we have a plan.

Though probably it's a good time to start brainstorming.  Following
Sean's suggestion, maybe we can start with major modes, minor modes,
useful tooling (e.g. boxquote, debpaste), etc.  Suggestions welcome!
