How shall I report a bug in the .deb packaging itself?

The problem seems to be that the package manager does not make its basic 
functionality, which is to make clear for users which packages they wish 
to remove.

For me it seems a minor problem that a console tool could be removed, 
compared with packages accumulating and no longer been able to tell 
which of those are really needed or not.

Specially when the kind of user who uses the console is who could tell 
when this tool will be removed, and the package manager would list those.
