Yeah, I read the message between the lines ;-)

Problem is that saying "you no longer need dmo in Wheezy" implies "you 
need dmo in Squeeze" which is misleading.

I believe that we currently deal with dmo by treating it as non-existent 
and just close bugreports infected by it.  I'd prefer similar here.

...but as I wrote originally, it is a minor thing, so if important to 
you to keep it as-is, I'll rest my case :-)
