Hi,

An update on this; Ove has uploaded a fixed simgear.  The upload of
flightgear is semi fixed - it now rebuilds on some architectures, but
still fails on others.  I have filed this as #636210.
  If this can be fixed we can complete this transition without any
removals at all. :)

Sorry for now following up on this sooner (I forgot about it during
DebConf). :)
