Is the list of such packages available somewhere?

Of course I can but I want to point out that this should happen
occasionally. I reported several packages to be keyworded for amd64
year ago and none of them is stable yet. So it seems to me that
this is not "bug", this is a "rule".

PS: Richard, how do you read this mailing list? I have suspicion
that my mails do not arriving to mailing list. I see only your
reply, not my original post (this happened also with my previous
mail from 23. 7.).
