Thanks for your reply.  I've requested removal for those packages that
do not have any reverse dependencies in Debian at the moment so the
largest part of GGZ will be gone soon.

For the remaining packages (ggz-client-libs, ggz-server, libggz), I plan
to file bugs for the games still (build-)depending on them and request
removal later.  For now I've just cloned this bug to them as a reminder.

All packages will stay available on snapshot.debian.org as well should
somebody want to work at them again at a later time.  Same for the bug
reports (though they will be closed and later archived, but you can
still look them up).

Regards,
Ansgar
