Tell me Ben... what would you have done, if we were already in
"automated release to unstable", and someone filed a bug about this?
closed it with status "wonfix", so it migrates into current anyway?

What about if, as is more likely, no-one noticed it for 2 weeks, and
it made it into current directly... then someone filed a bug,
"Hey, I'm using 'current', not 'unstable', but you guys just
auto-removed a package I'm using? What's up with that???"

That is of course, presuming that they even COULD file a bug. because
once bacula_gnome is removed from the catalog, usual practice is to
disable the corresponding mantis areas also.
