Also we should only count as 'maintained on Salsa' packages that are effectively maintained. Packages that are on salsa but never uploaded to sid or whose source code does not match salsa, due to NMU or otherwise should not be counted. We do not need more bureaucracy. I will not let packages be removed from testing just to keep the Salsa repositories in sync. Cheers, Bill.
