Lintian diagnoses this as "[build-]depends-on-obsolete-package" since
2.116.0 (MR at [1], instances of the relevant tags listed at [2] and
[3]) which will hopefully help progress towards dropping the transitional
package.

(partially reverted in
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/452 but the
freetype part remains)
[2] https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag.cgi?tag=build-depends-on-obsolete-package
[3] https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag.cgi?tag=depends-on-obsolete-package
Unfortunately lintian.debian.org is not currently updating, so please
don't use that as a source.
