Remove mini-buildd from jammy temporarily to allow Django transiton

[Lena Voytek]

The Django 3.2 transition is currently being blocked in proposed by mini-buildd because it is severely outdated. mini-buildd's current version in Jammy is 1.1.19, which is an old experimental version. The two options to fix this would either be to move it back to stable (1.0.49) - which would need a full python3 transition, or move it up to the newest experimental version in Debian (1.9.98) - which has some runtime errors. Unfortunately both options are non-trivial and will take time to fix, so it may be best to remove the package for now and re-add it once it is updated and working. The original bug report for this is located here: https://pad.lv/1965724

I think this request is reasonable and added a few more details to the description.
After checking with Doko to be sure I agree and will remove this.
