Hi Patrick,
The salt ebuild has been refactored to remove the tests and modules that

I think we should add a new bug resolution that would more precisely
cover closing bugs due to packages being removed. Right now, whichever
resolution we use (be it WONTFIX, OBSOLETE, etc.), we aren't able to
easily distinguish whether the resolution was used "normally" or due to
last rites.
