Hi,

I've created 2 lists of changes to debathena-thirdparty that I think
incorporate most of the changes requested by various people over the
past month or so, plus a few of my own. Listed in the format I used
before,

<group>, <name>, <package>, <comment> these are:

https://web.mit.edu/alexp/Public/thirdpartysw-remove-9.24.09

which is a fairly long list of packages to be removed, reflecting Jon's
request to remove underutilized packages, and geofft's suggestion for
cleaning up and updating the libboost packages.

https://web.mit.edu/alexp/Public/thirdpartysw-add-9.24.09

a significantly shorter list of packages to be added, reflecting some things
which were overlooked in the initial setup and a few new ones.

I'd like to request that these changes be applied, subject to discussion at
next release-team meeting. We should also discuss recommendation issues in
debathena-thirdparty package as per tickets 372, 373, 374.

                                          Alex
