Please speak up if you are currently using one of them.
If you speak up, please think about providing patches to fix the
security issues (though it's not a requirement).

I'll remove packages for which noone spoke up after the branch is cut,
but at the earliest two weeks from now.
This might also cause the removal of dependencies if the package
contains a library or is a dependency for another reason.

For these packages noone has spoken up:
[snip]
vlc08-0.8.6i

I use this (last version which doesn't require qt4 for a GUI).
