In this commit, a package was removed:

    commit 340e98ee8d52185c8c65f0ce59bb61d5a188a9f4
    Author: Philip Kaludercic <philipk <at> posteo.net>
    Date:   Fri Oct 22 19:20:45 2021 +0200

        * elpa-packages (color-theme-tangotango): Remove package

However, it still is available for download:

    https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/color-theme-tangotango.html

Should we remove packages automatically if they are not listed in
elpa-packages?

Good question.  The current scripts don't, obviously, but that's just
a side effect of the way they work.  Whether we remove them from
`archive-contents` or not, I think it's important to keep their
`<pkg>.html` page, who updated with a note explaining that it's
been removed.
