I've done this now, the removed repositories have been archived at
/git/pkg-multimedia/attic/$repo.git.tar.gz, and can be restored at any
time.

I have hoped that ¹ will make the broken repositories disappear
immediately, but unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. Let's
hope that will clear up by itself after the weekend, otherwise we need
to contact ansgar, the PET maintainer

Cheers,
Reinhard
