dropping dependencies for a package

[Carlo Segre <segre@iit.edu>]

Hello All:

If a new version of a package drops a dependency on a previously required 
package, should an install-time reminder be given to the user?  I don't 
really want to add debconf clutter for such a trivial matter but it is 
probably not good to leave a potentially orphaned package around.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Carlo
