The bug about that is here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887551

It looks like a lot of other rdep must have gone away since I wrote
the last update on that mail. Then again, as long as it is marked
deprecated, perhaps the cost of keeping it in Debian until that bug
is fixed is not that high?
