Bug#682349: gcc-4.4: please drop Objective C support

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Source: gcc-4.4
Version: 4.4.7-1
Severity: important
Justification: http://bugs.debian.org/675431#47
Control: block 675431 by -1
Tags: patch

Hi,

I had been wondering why gcc-4.5 was still in the archive.
It seems that one reason is gobjc-4.4's dependency on
libgobjc2 which is currently built from the gcc-4.5 source
package.  Luckily we already have gobjc-4.6 and -4.7 in the
archive so the -4.4 version is not really needed.

Filing this bug so others can learn the same more quickly.

How about this patch?

Thanks,
Jonathan
