I see that there actually is a feature request FS#18829[1] for reporting
broken packages. Maybe there should be an auto-orphan feature after x
days/weeks if the package was out-of-date or being flagged for broken y
times. Of course the maintainer should unflag or "unbreak" the package
without updating it as we can now.

The mark as broken should also be useful for stuff like when we switched
for systemd. Many packages were (and probably still are) "broken" as
they didn't conform the new infrastructure, yet - strictly speaking -
they weren't out of date.

Also, about Dan's idea... it's a great idea, but there is a problem with
those 16k packages. Many of them weren't downloaded probably for years
and no-one uses them, so no-one will flag them as sh*t.
