Agreed, it seems improbable that any significant amount of user code
would be using Version::Requirements.

The only thing I was worried about was old package dependencies like

 Depends: perl (>= 5.14) | libversion-requirements-perl

which would still be satisfied with a new perl package without
Version::Requirements and would possibly merit some Breaks
entries.

But the only reverse dependency that ever had such a line (see #653868
for some background) in sid was cpanminus (<< 1.5007-2) AFAICS, and it
didn't actually use Version::Requirements for anything. So I guess no
worries there.

Conclusion: let's go ahead doing nothing :)
