I think we should add a new bug resolution that would more precisely cover closing bugs due to packages being removed. Right now, whichever resolution we use (be it WONTFIX, OBSOLETE, etc.), we aren't able to easily distinguish whether the resolution was used "normally" or due to last rites.Having a dedicated resolution (technical name RESO/PKGREMOVED) would make this clear. Furthermore, it would make it easier to reopen bugs if the packages are ever reintroduced.
Nice idea. RESO/PKGREMOVED sounds very reasonable to me. By the way debian calls it "archived" as in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609845 -- Best, Jonas
