I always test with the following method before I request a removal:

 - ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org "dak rm -Rn <source-package>"

Could it be that it does not catch all cases where there are
reverse-deps? And do the ftpmasters run some kind of check before
removing a package?

Before we consider re-introducing toxiproxy, we should check if
golang-github-shopify-sarama-dev's dependency is necessary.

Cheers,
