Thanks for the reminder. We tried removing that package once already,
but had to revert its removal during the bullseye cycle because it broke
a lot of third-party .debs (see #958035, #956520, #959978, #958477).

Now that bullseye (and bookworm) has been released with a libpango1.0-0
whose versioned dependencies are all of the form (>= x) rather than (= x),
allowing users to keep the bullseye or bookworm version of libpango1.0-0
installed if they need it, we can have another try at this.
