"nose" is RC buggy. It was until a few days ago in the "key packages set".

[..]

What was not expected is that nose started the autoremoval counter of seemingly ~700 unrelated packages.

How this does work :-| ?

I imagine exactly like you are seeing it play out. Now every
maintainer has 29 days to do something about the situation - either
cut nose out of their deps, or fix or delay the rc bug.

Don't know what the mechanism is for informing to-be-autoremoved
package maintainers, but it's good that the machinery is working.

An interesting research topic is probably what is the non-key key
package depending on nose, and can that be fixed soon. A good
starting point might be "pkg-perl-tools", which is affected but
seems unlikely to directly depend on nose...

After recent upload of piuparts, nose dropped out of the key package set,
as expected.

Why not? Things (build-)depend on other things and that can be a big tree.

Can you clarify why you are describing these autoremoves as "spurious"? Isn't this just the dependency system working the way it is supposed to?
