This has been done in oneiric: batmand 0.3.2-10 no longer ships these two binary packages.
For Natty, this is not a matter for the Ubuntu archive administrators since the batmand source package in natty still builds these two binary packages; we don't do partial removals of some binaries from a source package that still builds them. Furthermore, we have never yet removed a package from a stable release, and don't actually have much of a mechanism for doing so (we might invent one if there were a credible and substantial legal problem). I suggest that an effective way to proceed might perhaps be to propose a stable release update that turns these packages into dummy packages that do nothing in particular except perhaps display a note to the user about the problem. For how to go about doing that, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-archive for the time being, since there's nothing this team can do.
