you can "block" bugs but not packages
therefore these bugs avoid a mass-bug-filing against packages no longer
in the archive (or for aspell-* where the solution is clear, only a
single maintainer is affected (more or less) and will be done for jessie)
If there is some "better" (source-)package, we can assign them there ...
but the "Found: Foreign-Package/Version" will need to be reinstated for
m-a to classify the logs properly.
