That still won't give any meaningful message to the bug submitters at
all. What works best in this situation is what Wolfgang did:

| To: 176763-done@bugs.debian.org
| CC: 188460-done@bugs.debian.org,  151007-done@bugs.debian.org, 
|  141334-done@bugs.debian.org,  154155-done@bugs.debian.org
| Subject: lib-saxon-java removed and replaced by libsaxon-java
| 
| as the subject says lib-saxon-java is removed from
| testing/unstable and replaced with libsaxon-java.
|

| libsaxon-java are already done:
|
| (and why that is for each bug)

This is simply one mail to rule them all :)
