I've reviewed the changes: you did a really good job. A minor issue
remain since some packages now suggest no longer existing tao packages.
(But I have to admit I have no idea why these suggestions were written
in the first place.)

I am doing a compilation now, results expected sooner than tomorrow I
guess now that TAO was stripped off.

Unless something weird happens during that build I approve your
changes.

Probably. Bad timing, really. I'm sad that the next Debian release will
not include TAO.

Thanks for your work,
Regards,

Thomas
