some remarks from me on that issue: - we don't enforce that data matches the DFSG for release of sarge - stars (and derivants) have a longer history in resolving that issue. Though I'm unhappy that stars is now not directly usable, I think the general tendency is ok. So, unless the maintainer asks for removal, I don't think that starts qualifies for removal _now_. Of course, if the problem is not fixed before release of sarge, we might still consider to do it.
