I don't think this solution is really correct. libpango1.0-0 used to
depend on a whole family of Pango libraries, not just libpango-1.0-0.

(Also, if we can't remove a transitional package after 7 years, when *can*
we remove it?)

It looks like I still have an account on the Minecraft bug tracker, so
I'll try asking again for the dependency to be fixed, with more
Debian/Ubuntu context.
