    checks/debconf: Remove debconf-error-requires-versioned-depends
    
    post-lenny a tag for the sake of sarge-backports clearly makes no sense
    anymore. Pointed out by Scott Kitterman.

-Tag: debconf-error-requires-versioned-depends
-Type: info
-Info: Debconf only supports the error template type as of version 1.4.69.
- Packages that use this template type should declare a dependency on that
- version of debconf.
- .
- Since error types were added after debconf-2.0, one cannot use the normal
- debconf-2.0 alternative to allow for cdebconf or other implementations.
- Instead, use <tt>debconf (&gt;= 1.4.69) | cdebconf (&gt;= 0.39)</tt>.
- .
- All versions of debconf back to etch support error templates, but the
- debconf released with sarge didn't, so this dependency is still helpful
- for oldstable backports.
