Hi Rob

I'm a little wary of removing things from the official set because then they 
don't appear in the auto-complete list, which is a right pain and encourages 
people to mis-spell them.

I think you need to leave soyuz split into components as now, see below.  
Soyuz code is big and is split across a few modules.  From my own experience, 
it's also really useful to search them separately.  I think I may have 
mentioned that a few times before :)

Get rid of soyuz-build.  I created buildfarm and buildd-manager which replace 
it.  I'm not sure what the bugs that have soyuz-build on them now need instead 
though, I'd need to go through them as they could be anything else.

> soyuz-upload (replace with soyuz + poppy)

I would keep soyuz-upload as it refers to anything to do with upload 
processing (lp.archiveuploader) and nothing to do with poppy.

> soyuz-publish (replace with soyuz + publish)
> soyuz-publisher (replace with soyuz + publish)

soyuz-publisher is redundant, we use soyuz-publish now.  Please keep that.

> soyuz-core (replace with soyuz)

I don't mind either way, but I'd like ther separate soyuz-upload and soyuz-
publish.

> soyuz-ftpmaster-tools (just make unofficial)

Fine.

> buildd-manager (make unofficial, add soyuz, buildfarm tags)

Mmmm maybe.  buildd-manager has nothing to do with soyuz as such any more.

> package-diff (replace with derivation / just make unofficial)

package-diff != derivation.  It refers to the cron job that calls debdiff.  
Happy to make it unofficial.

> soyuz-security (replace with soyuz + security)

Fine.

Cheers
