If a new version of a package drops a dependency on a previously required

really want to add debconf clutter for such a trivial matter but it is
probably not good to leave a potentially orphaned package around.
I would use NEWS.Debian for this.
Explain everything there. If the user has apt-listchanges installed,
it will displays this file (also, it's a file that users are supposed
to read).
