are obsolete transitional packages no longer built by libgd2 2.1.1-4.
Instead they are now provided as virtual packages.

The cruft report lists these dependencies:

* source package libgd2 version 2.1.1-4 no longer builds
  binary package(s): libgd2-noxpm-dev libgd2-xpm-dev

amd64,arm64,armel,armhf,hurd-i386,i386,kfreebsd-amd64,kfreebsd-i386,mips,mipsel,powerpc,ppc64el,s390x

    dak rm -m "[auto-cruft] NBS (no longer built by libgd2)" -s unstable -a

    wims: libgd2-xpm-dev |libgd2-noxpm-dev

Most of these are covered by the virtual packages, only nagios3 and php-ps
(in sid only due to other RC bugs) need the real packages.
But since libgd2-dev (2.1.1-1) is no longer available the cruft packages
are not installable anymore anyway. Therefore removing them won't make
the situation worse for nagios3 and php-ps.
