Yes, and in meantime fusesmb (delayed queue) and wikipediafs where
already updated. But as far as I can see there where no notifications
or bugreports to the depending packages about this. At least a heads
up before removing finally the package would surely have been
appreciated. E.g. It could have been added to lintian's check for
obsoleted packages.
