[Bug 1959004] Re: lintian: remove unused non-main dependency libio-prompt-tiny-perl

[Lukas Märdian]

LGTM!

We could have considered downgrading to Suggests instead of fully
removing the dependency. But as those scripts in private/ aren't shipped
in the binary package at all, it doesn't really matter, as somebody
using those would be using the source pkg or git tree directly anyway.

Title:
  lintian: remove unused non-main dependency libio-prompt-tiny-perl

Status in lintian package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The 2.111.0 version of lintian depends on libio-prompt-tiny-perl which
  is currently in Universe. This blocks the package from migrating until
  the MIR is completed. However, this dependency is actually unused in
  the binary package, as the scripts that use it aren't shipped yet. I'm
  assuming the dependency is there on a provisional basis, but it's
  actually blocking for us.
