I'm quite sure this is okay.  The binaries we care most about are in the
separate jessie-kfreebsd-proposed-updates suite.

Hey -bsd guys,

FYI - we were discussing d-i bugs today and it looks like there's a
huge number of bugs that aren't clearing properly in the BTS. This
looks like it's caused by old versions of the -kfreebsd installer
binaries hanging around in unstable, so we're proposing to remove
them. We're *fairly* sure this shouldn't cause problems for you as
these binaries are ancient - please confirm!

Cheers,

Steve & Neil

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386 have outdated builds of debian-installer
(20150422) and newer versions containing bug fixes no longer build.

Please remove debian-installer on kfreebsd from unstable until the
current version can build.
