Um, no?

The mktemp package's setup.hint now specifies the "_obsolete" category. 
The package directory has been moved from release/mktemp/ to 
release/_obsolete/mktemp.

What's to do?

I thought about creating a new, empty package with an updated version 
number -- but it's too late now.  Once somebody has updated to the new 
coreutils, if they update using my new empty mktemp, then coreutils' 
mktemp.exe will be deleted. That's no good.
