I notice several packages in my available file that depend on debianutils.  As
it is essential/required, this doesn't need to be done.  This partitcular
package isn't in my available yet(still in Incoming), but several others are.

There are also other packages that have dependencies on essential packages.
It was my understanding that this doesn't have to be done.

Should I file bugs?
