Fix grml-live build from testing

[pasja]

Both eterm and hping3 has been removed from debian testing(trixie) and checking their tracker page I assume that they will not reenter soon.

• https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hping3
• https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/eterm

In order to presevere the build-ability of testing let's remove those packages for now

@mika WDYT about this PR?

Thx @pasja for your PR. I've just looked into this:

The issue regarding hping3 is worked on: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hping3/-/merge_requests/4

And eterm has a pending patch: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1066342#10

Considering the fact that we do not have a schedule for the next version, we should not remove the packages.
@mika What do you think?

(Sorry for late reply.)

I very much appreciate your (@pasja) efforts to keep Debian/testing builds working! Removing packages from the package list has the risk of no longer being aware of possible show stoppers for our stable release though, as @jkirk also reported. So we should to be careful about this. For example Esetroot of the eterm package is used within our grml-wallpaper Zsh function, no big deal really, but still something we might overlook and then users might see unexpected behaviors. :)

Good news though: eterm is already back in Debian/testing as of yesterday (2024-06-06),

Bad news: the following packages are currently missing in Debian/testing:

• hwinfo: due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1069498, someone should look into this
• nocache: due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1069426, already forwarded to upstream (though I'm afraid upstream won't react), someone should look into this
• hping3: due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1066662, already fixed via https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hping3/-/merge_requests/4 but pending upload from maintainer (pinged him in the MR)

Especially hwinfo is relevant for us due its usage within grml-hwinfo (no hard dependency though). Would be great if we could bring those packages back to Debian/testing!
