For your information, here is how I use dak for QA.

* ssh to mirror.ftp-master.debian.org, aka coccia.debian.org

* If I think source packages foo and bar should be removed from unstable,
  ask dak whether that would break any (build-)dependencies:

  dak rm -R -n foo bar

  (if it would break other packages but I think those packages should be
  removed too, then I add them to the end of the command-line and iterate)

* If I think source packages foo and bar should be removed from testing,
  that's similar:

  dak rm -R -n -s testing foo bar

* You can also investigate what would happen if a maintainer dropped
  individual binary packages, which is good if you are that maintainer
  and you plan to drop that package in a future upload, similar to the
  recent migration from libgpgme11-dev to libgpgme-dev:

  dak rm -R -n -b libgpgme11-dev
