First of all, I wouldn't bother with DSAs that are over 3 years old
(DSA 119, DSA 117...)

Correct.

Skip those (but warn when the script is run), if there are no packages part 
they have been superceded by other DSAs.

Forget about DSA-117. As for the other,s I've fixed 2006/dsa-1116.data 2007/dsa-1329.data
to provide the proper data and be more like others. I cannot commit right now 
(CVS down) but will fix soon.
