I must admit I'm not sure whether the follow-ups to this from Valerio
were in relation to the stable removal or not.

In any case, we're now less than a week away from a point release so
unless anyone yells to the contrary very soon I'm minded to remove all
three packages from wheezy as per Andreas's mail.
