I have removed the following packages: aufs, boost, emacs, jre, ntop
They were at an older or the same version than the package currently in 
extra. Except aufs, they were all already untagged from testing.

About the rest:

celestia: the package in testing is newer than the one in extra but it 
hasn't been tagged.  Therefore, users can't install it. Is it a mistake 
or is there a reason behind that?

ffmpeg and ivtv-utils: I'm currently building them for x86_64

km: Any opinions about it?
