[x] done :-)
Ansgar, the list of GGZ 0.0.14 packages to be removed looks complete to me, so 
please go ahead. Please note that there's also ggz-base-libs of version 0.99.x 
in experimental which may need removal.

I've imported all binNMUs, patches and pending bug reports into the pkg-ggz 
SVN just in case work will continue.

Indeed, I'm not aware of any project which has ever had a hard dependency. The 
configuration macros we provided were cautiously written to encourage optional 
dependencies. Therefore, there should be no risk in removing the GGZ packages.
