The problem is that when trying out packages and then running debfoster
to clean up the system, I have to make lots of decisions and I remove
almost all the packages. As a result, I have a very long list of
package removals to confirm, and it is easy to overlook an important
package in the list, especially since debfoster has always worked
reliably for me since a very long time ago.

I certainly don't want debfoster removed from testing, it is a very
handy tool - the built-in keeping funcionality of aptitude is
absolutely unsuitable for the "trying out packages" usecase, so
I don't have any objection against downgrading it to important.
