The package is a "transitional dummy package" even in Debian stable and
now we dropped it. I can't tell when it was made transitional as there
is no changelog entry.
Maybe a check should be introduced, if a package declares a BD on a
transitional package. Doing a transition every time seems to be overdone
to me.
