Yes. Obsolete means that it is no longer present in the Debian archive
mirrors on the internet. It is still installed on your system, since you
installed it back when it was present in the Debian archive. But if you
remove the package, and you don't have the package file in the package
cache (/var/cache/apt/archives), and you don't have it on CD or DVD,
you won't be able to install it again.
