Package: gcc-4.3-base
Version: 4.3.2-1.1

If I try to run:

$ apt-get remove gcc-4.3-base apt+

I get:

libgcc1: Depends: gcc-4.3-base
libcstd++6: Depends: gcc-4.3-base
$
As I can have multiple versions of gcc-*-base installed a dependancy on any one version seems very wrong. But most importantly this prevents me from creating a Debian system without a C compiler.

Okay, sorry, it appears that this packages is nothing to do with the
compiler itself, it just contains a few text files.

So I've downgraded the bug and now just wish it didn't have such a
confusing name. Say gcc-4.3-version-list, not something that implies
that it contains the basic components of the complier.
the package is used for not duplicating the files in the various shared library packages. once all shared libs are built from a newer gcc-4.x source package, you are able to remove this package.
