I'd like to get the blessing of the release team before requesting removal of xerces25. xerces25 should be removed since it is a third version of xerces, and there is nothing in the archive that has to depend on it. At present, xerces25 has only two remaining reverse dependencies. I filed bugs against both packages 40 days ago. The reverse dependencies are xalan (bug 339396) and anon-proxy (bug 339405).
xalan, as you know, hasn't yet had is c2a rename. The version of xalan in sid is two upstream versions out of date. The latest upstream xalan works with xerces27, which I hope will be the only xerces 2.x in etch. anon-proxy probably doesn't have any code that depends upon a specific version of xerces. I can just NMU it to depend on xerces27. Can you think of any reason why I should not proceed to NMU anon-proxy and upgrade the bug I filed against xalan to RC? Most likely this would result in temporary removal of xalan from testing since packaging a new upstream version is out of scope for an NMU without the maintainer's blessing.
