I am quite sure Remi already did that, but geoip seems to be sort of
without maintainer now (the upstream repo is still svn and no activity
there).

in the git right now.

Ok, then. I'll look into websupport-sk patch and adding a prominent
notice that people really should switch to php-memcached.

dtto with uploading to unstable...
