+you don't answer the question. i'm not asking what to do in svn, that's
+pretty easy. but if we do only what you suggest, then the packages will
+stay installed on systems upgraded from mageia 1. and if the package is
+unmaintained, we don't want that to happen: we want the package to be
+uninstalled from all mageia 2 installs.
+
+the question is: how? which package is to obsolete the list of unwanted
+softs?
