[Bug 1829377] Re: Remove this package

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Thanks Jeremy, as you said cdebconf-terminal is gone post focal.
I found no other new dependencies either.

Indeed the modern version is fine and keeps being updated
 vte2.91 | 0.42.5-1ubuntu1         | xenial         | source
 vte2.91 | 0.52.1-1ubuntu1         | bionic         | source
 vte2.91 | 0.52.2-1ubuntu1~18.04.2 | bionic-updates | source
 vte2.91 | 0.60.1-1ubuntu1         | focal          | source
 vte2.91 | 0.60.3-0ubuntu1~20.5    | focal-security | source
 vte2.91 | 0.60.3-0ubuntu1~20.5    | focal-updates  | source
 vte2.91 | 0.68.0-1                | jammy          | source
 vte2.91 | 0.68.0-1ubuntu0.1       | jammy-security | source
 vte2.91 | 0.68.0-1ubuntu0.1       | jammy-updates  | source
 vte2.91 | 0.76.0-1                | noble          | source
 vte2.91 | 0.76.0-1ubuntu0.1       | noble-security | source
 vte2.91 | 0.76.0-1ubuntu0.1       | noble-updates  | source
 vte2.91 | 0.78.0-1                | oracular       | source
 vte2.91 | 0.78.2-1build1          | plucky         | source

But that is not true for the 0.28 branch
 vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu1  | trusty            | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu3  | xenial            | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu4  | bionic/universe   | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6build1   | focal/universe    | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6build3   | jammy/universe    | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6.1build2 | noble/universe    | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6.1build2 | oracular/universe | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-7         | plucky/universe   | source

Well it still gets rare updates as in [1], but see Jeremy's post, that
is for the Debian installer.

No dependency, people really should use the modern one.
=> Ack to remove that in Plucky
