Secure testing team - Sep 2008 - please remove convirt and cgiwrap from testing

Hi,

Here''s a request to remove two security-bugged packages from testing:

convirt:
 * Has security issue spread around the code. There''s a patch but
   it''s necessarily invasive and untested.
 * No maintainer response to the security bug or any other open bug.
 * Package not in stable, doesn''t seem a good idea to introduce it into
   stable when it''s unmaintained.

cgiwrap:
 * Security issue with no adequate patch available.
 * Security sensitive application but unmaintained; last maintainer
   upload in 2005.
 * Many newer upstreams available.


thanks,
Thijs
