Well, there's only a few packages left (others have already been moved
or are required by another [core]/[extra] package):

* bluez-firmware
* cmus
* evilwm
* fortune-mod
* id3v2
* jhead
* libofx
* libofx-doc
* lirc
* lzo
* msmtp
* ncftp
* pdksh
* perl-timedate
* pidgin-encryption

Note that fortune-mod is an optdep of xfce4-session and id3v2 is an
optdep of gtkpod (I can also maintain gtkpod if no one else wants to but
I don't use it, so this might not be in the sense of this cleanup).

I'm not sure about lirc either, I'd prefer if someone could adopt both
lirc and lirc-utils and maintain them in [extra] (lirc-utils is required
by a bunch of [extra] packages).
