No, it's not important at all for 16.10. I just spotted this during my
review/cleanup of stuff that's stuck in -proposed.

But I think it is important to not leave software bitrot for too long,
as this keeps blocking other work (Python 3 transition, aptdaemon
removal, syncs from Debian, etc.), so removing this early in Z is
fine.
