I took a quick look at the current status:

| $ dak rm -Rn -s testing eclipse
| [...]
| Checking reverse dependencies...
| # Broken Depends:
| pleiades: pleiades
|
| # Broken Build-Depends:
| aspectj: eclipse-platform (>= 3.4.1)
| lombok: eclipse-jdt
|         eclipse-platform-data
| svnkit: eclipse-rcp

biogenesis build-deps on 'default-jdk | eclipse-jdt', so that's not a problem.

pleiades, lombok and svnkit could be removed from testing alongside eclipse.

That leaves aspectj as the only blocker:

| $ dak rm -Rn -s testing aspectj
| [...]
| Checking reverse dependencies...
| # Broken Depends:
| aspectj-maven-plugin: libaspectj-maven-plugin-java
|
| # Broken Build-Depends:
| aspectj-maven-plugin: libaspectj-java (>= 1.8.2)
| eclipselink: aspectj
| libspring-java: libaspectj-java
| openjpa: aspectj
| shiro: libaspectj-java

Cheers,
