Well... according to packages.debian.org, dict-moby-thesaurus only exists
in oldstable and oldoldstable.  So, Debian 9 and 10.

<https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dict-moby-thesaurus> shows the dates
it was removed from unstable and from testing.

<https://tracker.debian.org/news/1161371/removed-10-64-from-unstable/>
shows that it was removed because:

RoQA; dead upstream (10+ years); python2-only; no extrenal deps; extremely low popcon

Thanks for taking the time to trace out the cause.  It truly is a sad
loss.

I wish I knew enough about Python to know how much work it would take
to make the data base compatible with Python 3 (or whatever dictionary
currently is running on).  Meanwhile, it is back to Roget.
