You are probably right. However, removing a package should not be done
without
- adding a note about this to the release notes (Is there a package or
pseudo-package for the release notes now? I don't think so).
- Inform the maintainers of alternatives. Since polipo claims to be "in
the spirit of wwwoffle", it might even be possible to provide an
upgrade path.
