The people who have the power to completely remove packages from Debian are unlikely to notice this here, so please file a proper removal request, i.e. file a bug for the pseudo-package ftp.debian.org with subject "RM: handlersocket -- ROM; <summary of reasons>" and details of the reasons in the body. (I would do so myself, but removal requests are expected to be filed by either maintainer(s) of a package or the QA team, and I'm neither.)
