Package: devscripts Version: 2.8.14 Severity: wishlist Hello,
It would be nice to have a script similar to rc-alert and wnpp-alert for removed packages still installed on the system. This script would fetch the list of removed packages from http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt and compare to installed packages. It could also mention the reason for removal. This would be very useful after distribution upgrade as this could detect packages no longer supported by Debian from the old distribution.
