Given the complete lack of progress for another two months, I am moving
forward and request unstable removal despite your objections.

dogtag-pki ships aliased files and I would like to NMU it, but I cannot
as it fails to build from source. The closest thing to do here would be
NMUing anyway, letting it fail to build and then requesting removal of
the existing binary packages. That's fairly close to removing it
entirely, but full removal is way less effort and dogtag-pki also has
five known vulnerabilities some of which remain unaddressed for more
than a year.

In the event that dogag-pki no longer fails to build from source, most
of my reasons for requesting removal vanish and I will stop arguing in
favour of its removal.
