Well, depends on the definition of "ancient".
The breaks/replaces/provides were added to libgd-perl in 2013
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/libg/libgd-perl/changelog-2.72-1 ;
libgd-gd2-perl and libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl were removed from testing at that time,
and from the archive in 2014:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libgd-gd2-perl
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl
But yes, there are at least 13 package still depending in the removed
real or virtual packages, according to
https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=libgd-perl
And I'm sorry for missing these reverse dependencies. Obviously my
methodology was not good enough:
% reverse-depends libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl
b'<p>Package not published in specified release</p>'
% apt-cache rdepends libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl
<libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl>
Anyway, I'll add the Breaks/Replaces/Provides back and file bugs
against the reverse dependencies.
Cheers,
gregor
