Hi, I'm the maintainer of zeroinstall-injector and I just got notified that it was removed and found this issue. I believe that this removal was done in error. As I explained in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934340, there is no need to remove obus, which has made a new release without a camlp4 dependency (and also, camlp4 itself is now compatible with the new OCaml and therefore does not need to be removed). The message there says "The new version depends on (at least) two NEW packages (lwt_log and ppxlib), and the NEW queue backlog is pretty big now." but I don't believe the length of the NEW queue is a good reason to remove working packages. It is possible to get the zeroinstall package (at least the binaries) restored to testing while this issue is fixed? > They prevent 62 other packages from migrating to testing.

Surely the purpose of the time delay is to let these things be fixed properly? https://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals seems to indicate that a maintainer should be given several weeks notice before their package is removed.
