Now, according to 
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/enchant-2.html , package
xenur ( https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xneur ) is the last package that
(build-)depends on enchant(1). This package has been under FTBFS status
due to GCC-10 since July and was removed in Testing.

I believe we can make some early move and remove enchant(1) from Sid
(and natually Testing) now. Alexander: if you still need enchant(1)
these months, please let me know; this removal can be postponed till
December 2020 (but will surely happen after that). Otherwise I am
looking into opening a RM bug against FTP Masters about 1 week later
and finally finish this longlasting transition.

Let me know if you have any comments.
