[Bug 52230] Re: [Backport Request] Pcmcia-cs is obsolete, but it's required by ubuntu-desktop package

[John Dong]

Backports cannot really "fix" this bug (in terms of removing deprecated
pcmcia-cs from systems)... Backporting a ubuntu-desktop package that
does not have this dependency will not do much at all... dist-upgrade
won't remove pcmcia-cs, and adding Conflicts is too much in my opinion,
as I'm not sure what upgrade scenarios it might break.

As far as the init script, it takes 0.3 seconds to execute on my Dapper
machine, roughly 0.8% of boot time. So, it's not really worth removing
invasively at all.
