Question about removal of cyrus-sasl2-mit

There is still a soource package for cyrus-sasl2-mit.  This has been
superseded by the new version of cyrus-sasl2, which is in Etch.  THe new
version of cyrus-sasl2 builds against MIT Kerberos, obviating the need
for the separate cyrus-sasl2-mit.  What is the best way of going about
removing this package?

I was think this:

- File a serious bug against it to get it out of Etch
- File a bug against the ftp.d.o pseudopackage requesting complete
  removal from Sid (since ftpmaster seems to be taking a while to
  process removal requests I think we can expect that this will not
  happen until after Etch is released)

If these seem OK, can I go ahead with them?

Regards,

-Roberto
