 I'm obviously late with commenting on this, but I think marking things as
BROKEN is wrong. It bypasses the legacy mechanism so it disappears without
notice. Also, BROKEN packages languish there for years without ever anyone
taking a look. Sometimes things do get repaired, but re-adding the package is
not much more complicated than

 So, I propose to remove all broken packages.

 [I have the feeling we discussed this kind of thing at some BR devel meeting at
some point, but I can't find it.]

 Arnout
