Well, insighttoolkit (v3) is also marked for autoremoval next week, so my plan 
is to let that happen -- and I presume the depending packages will also be 
removed at that time.

I haven't checked, but I will be conservative and assume it needs transition.  
I have already staged v4.8 in experimental for that purpose; see also #793250 
and #796561.

Apologies if I have gone about this the wrong way.
