Bug#580366: [powerpc] libc6 DEPENDS on debconf

[Michael Guntsche <mike@it-loops.com>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.2-6
Severity: normal

Starting with 2.10.2-7 the powerpc version depends on debconf instead of
Suggests: 
This is different from at least i386 which still suggests debconf.
While this is a minor issue for a powerpc system using it in a cross
build chain is a lot more difficult now. Debconf itself has a whole slew
of other dependencies that need to be satisfied although this is not
needed for cross-compilation.
Looking at the control file for -7 I still see debconf under suggests 
so I wonder why it ends up under Depends: in the final powerpc build.

If there is no special reason can this be reverted to a Suggests:?
