Bug#223742: base-config: description is no longer accurate (about removal with no ill effects)

[Ivan Nestlerode <nestler@speakeasy.net>]

Package: base-config
Version: 2.00
Severity: minor

The package description for base-config says:
"""
It can be removed with no ill effects -- once your Debian system is
installed, this package's only useful function is to allow you to
reconfigure some things.
"""

This is no longer true now that passwd (a required package) depends on
base-config. You would get warnings/errors if you tried to remove
base-config at this point.
