It's over two weeks now so I will start the cleanup when I have time. I
will leave packages that I think are used widely to be last so
maintainers of those still have time to do things on their own. I have
exams coming next week so it will probably take a while for me to
process the list. Here's the people/packages that wanted to be excluded
from the list:

GNOME
gstreamer
gnuplot
hkBst

If I forgot someone, please slap me around a bit with a large trout.

Regards,
Petteri
