The package was renamed, not removed.

This made reassigning sound more appropriate than blindly closing.

It might not matter much when Lucas is the submitter, but in general
it is better when this bug gets closed with "already fixed" than a
not completely correct "package was removed".


The reason why I didn't close the bug this way myself actually seems to 
be a bug in the package:

performous does not have any relationship (Depends/Recommends/Suggests)
on these song packages you mention.

This was the reason why I didn't find them when checking quickly whether 
the bug was clearly already fixed.

I'd guess users would also appreciate at least a Suggests of them.
