The subject of the thread here is "deprecated", which implies removing
the package, not just reducing dependencies.
Well normally deprecated refers to something which is left in place but
which people are advised to move away from which would imply not
removing it.
I suspect it will be some time before all those packages are modified to
not rely on it so any talk of removing it seems premature.
